Hell, even half of their “treatments” ended up making the problem worse or killing you even quicker

One common treatment for chickenpox was to drill a hole in the skull. Shockingly this wasn’t very helpful

No patient complaints were registered, so it couldn’t have been that bad either.

But drilling a hole in your head did solve some other problems like brain swelling, so without knowing better and having no alternatives, I could see why one would try

It would have dealt with the swelling immediately but chances are the patient would have died from infection from the operation.
