They invented the chainsaw to annihilate women alive.Meanwhile Ugandan midwives used banana wine for successful C-sections that saved both the mother and child. Many Muslims and Chinese scientists also used advanced medicine for women’s labor.
So when are you moving back to Uganda, shit for skin? Post hand before replying.
>>18470885Was this even widespread?
>>18470897it was still used in ireland until recently
>>18470897No, in Europe it was only employed if the birth was going so badly that both the child and mother would die, and even then only with the consent of the mother or the father if the mother was uncommunicative.
>>18471208To elaborate a bit more, caesarean sections were most often used when the mother was already dead or obviously dying. Performing it on a live woman was a last resort that required consent like you said.
I looked into this. They apparently DID perform C-sections, but the actual evidence for the mother surviving is... shaky>which in one account by Robert William Felkin from 1879 resulted in the survival of both mother and child.>was a British medical missionary and explorer, a ceremonial magician, member of the S.R.I.A, member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a prolific author on Uganda and Central Africa, and early anthropologist, with an interest in hypnotism, ethno-medicine and tropical diseases.So it's hearsay from an alternative medicine enthusiast. Alternative medicine people, famous for never lying or exaggerating. Even if it was true, in the West in 1879 C-sections were survivable.>There is some indirect evidence that the first caesarean section in which both the mother and child survived was performed in Prague in 1337>James Barry was the first European doctor to carry out a successful caesarean in Africa, while posted to Cape Town between 1817 and 1828>The first successful caesarean section to be performed in the United States took place in Rockingham County, Virginia, in 1794. The procedure was performed by Dr. Jesse Bennett on his wife Elizabeth.So, on this specific topic, Africans were possibly on par with Europeans from 500 years before their time, and possibly on par with Europeans from 2,000 years before their time.

>>18470885Europeans practiced advanced form of surgery since Roman times, including brain surgery, of course they could aver both mother and child. > but muh Dark AgesNever happened, it was a Romantic trope from 1800s art later re-popularized by Hollywood.
>>18470885Are you saying that white people were inventing chainsaws when Uganda just discovered midwifery?
>>18471938the truth is, the elements of the european dark ages worsened over time even when europeans took over the world, buy plundering and raping
