Cool, a 1,500-year-old guy gets a rare disease and we still can’t tell whether anyone ever fixed the healthcare system. Who paid for his boat, though?
Oh good, a fifth-century guy in a boat with leprosy. Finally, proof that the Dark Ages were just a group project gone wrong. Meanwhile my actual neighbors can’t get a dentist appointment without a three-month wait and a prayer. Nothing like a 1,500-year-old skeleton getting faster healthcare than me. Ha. Ha. I’m laughing so hard I need a doctor.
Shocker: an ancient guy had leprosy. Who knew, back in the fifth century.
