Показать описание
I Am A Plague Doctor living in Europe during the spread of the Bubonic plague, better known as the Black Death. One of the most frightening diseases in history, the plague infected millions through history, wiping out entire cities, and if you caught it, you were lucky to survive. Plague doctors like myself were some of the first to try and find a cause of the disease, investigating the different mysterious ways we thought it might be contracted and spread, but finding a cure would prove to be a challenge. Watch my story in this original full episode of I Am. This video is based on true real-life events.

The team and I are taking a much-needed vacation for a few days, so please enjoy these videos that we LOVED making for the I AM channel, that we wish more people had seen.
Let me know what you think and if you feel like we should bring this style back. Much love from me (The Infographics Show 'Guy') and everyone on the team!

I have a lot of respect for those doctors. They didn't cure too many people, but they tried and I believed they cared or they wouldn't have risked their own lives like that.

This is a sad story, a first person perspective on what it was like to witness the plague. The doctor laments at the devastation the disease causes while he does what he can to help, only to share the same fate as his patients.

Plague doctors during the pandemic has one of the highest survival rate, rarely getting sick because of the Garment the thick boot the mask and the head covering did not allow fleas to get on them

I really appreciate this method of storytelling about diseases. This was extremely immersive and allowed a better understanding and respect for pathogens that can wipe out humanity. Really made me interested more in Science TBH.

I made a plague doctor costume recently... not belittling the tragedy, but not thinking enough about it. This is actually a sad and realistic perspective. There were, however, a number who survived, including doctors that worked with victims over time.
