So the pushing out thing was sometimes used, although it’s important to note that a lot of damn stupid treatments have been used in the past. However, the usual treatment was to pull it out with specialized pliers.
Hi I love your blog btw! Ages ago I heard somewhere that in the medieval era the way they would remove an arrow from a wound would be to push it all the way through because to pull it out directly would cause more harm, but recently I have not been able to find a source and i kinda sounds fake. Have you ever heard of this? Was there any kind of “standard” procedure for wound treatment in medieval ages? I know boiled wine isn’t real but did they even know to boil water?
