Hearth and Hazard: Dr. Percival Pott and the Chimney Sweeper's Affliction
Manage episode 376907252 series 2935879
You've heard the sayings about how hard life was back in the 18th and 19th centuries, but have you ever considered the life of a chimney sweep in London during those times? Far from the cheery character in Mary Poppins, the actual chimney sweeps of the time were children, hired into a very dangerous job. One surgeon made the association between that occupation and a certain medical condition. Eventually his work helped change society for the better. We'll talk about this and so much more in this episode!
