Ep #10: Who stole grandma’s body?! The Doctors’ Riots of 1788 | Dark History Podcast

Hi friends, happy Thursday! Modern medicine had to start somewhere, right? And where it started ain’t too pretty. In order to study the inside of the body, bodies had to be dissected. And where did medical students and doctors get bodies to dissect in 1788? They stole ‘em from the cemetery, silly. Today, Bailey tells the wild story of the 1788 Doctors’ Riots. I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more dark history. You can find Dark History podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you listen to your podcasts, and every Thursday here on my Youtube for the visual side of things.
