Doctors Deepa and Jen from the Docs Watch podcast help us understand the various aspects of 18th century abortion portrayed by Portrait of a Lady on Fire. We'll answer questions like: what's running and hanging from the ceiling supposed to accomplish? What was in that tea? What was that stuff the midwife pulled a twig out of, and where did the rest of it end up?? Get ready to find out, be grateful for modern medicine, and renew your commitment to vote in favor of reproductive rights (or we'll all end up pulling twigs out of mystery paste again and hoping to avoid sepsis).
