Plague doctor Memes

From ending plagues to prescribing placebos! This meme hilariously contrasts medieval plague doctors (who were basically walking biohazards with herb-filled beaks) with modern physicians. Back then, these crow-masked heroes stuffed their beaks with herbs thinking it would filter "bad air" while wearing those iconic robes to protect from "miasma." They had ZERO idea what caused disease but looked absolutely metal doing it! Now we've got doctors with actual medical degrees instead of bird masks. Sure, modern medicine saves millions of lives... but style points? SEVERELY lacking. Sometimes you gotta wonder if we really "upgraded" at all! 🤣
