Beliefs in medicine.

This depicts "pre-modern medical beliefs" where people believed that cruel or bizarre treatments could cure illnesses, even though their effectiveness could not be definitively confirmed. Patients in the image are subjected to various experiments, including skull drilling, leech-induced bloodletting, and arm incisions to drain "bad" blood. The presence of religious figures and priests alongside them reflects how religion and medicine once went hand-in-hand
