Would you go to the doctor in the Middle Ages? Where did you go when you were sick? Who could heal?

If you were ill in the Middle Ages, it was due to an imbalance. The imbalance could be in the body, in the mind or in the universe. This imbalance had to be brought back into balance.  

 At the Medieval Center we like to focus on everyday things and ordinary life - where did you go when you were sick? Who could heal people? Many people think that in the Middle Ages you couldn't operate on people or fix broken bones, but you could. Much experience was gained on the battlefields, where field surgeons had to do their best to patch up the soldiers. It was clear that a large number died, as people did not have much knowledge of hygiene and did not yet have antibiotics and medicine - but there were also people who survived, and this can be seen, among other things, in skeletons where bones have grown together after a breakup.
