Time and time again, throughout the history of medical practice, what was once considered as "scientific" eventually becomes regarded as "bad practice". ↗

Was this an old disease, and, if so, which one? If it was new, what did that say about the state of medical knowledge? And in any case, how could physicians make sense of it? ↗
