The Victorian Houses of Death

Join Kelli as she talks about Victorian-era hospitals in London, known as the Houses of Death because of their fatality rates. These were the most unsanitary of places, and today we'll go into all the nitty-gritty details of what they looked like. We'll also learn about some of the gross surgeries that went on inside Houses of Death before going over how they changed with the advent of anesthetics and antiseptics.Buckle up, this one is pretty gross. But hey - at least you get a break from cannibalism this week.
