Weird that cancer and wolf are grouped together

I would have died because teeth back then, for sure

My votes go for:

• Prest to Death
• Fistula
• Livergrown
• Made Away With Themselves
• Murthered

"Suddenly" interests me the most. Not a condition or even a means, just a manner.

Like a catch-all for things they didn't understand; heart attack, brain haemorrhage, things where someone's fine one minute, and dead the next.

Cancer (and wolf)

Seems more like band names to me... and according to the Encyclopedia Metallum, these are already used:

Stillborn, Aged, Apoplex, Bleeding, Flux, Sores, Burnt, Scalded, Burst, Rupture, Cancer, Wolf, Canker, Cold, Cough, Strangury, Consumption, Convulsion, Starved, Drowned, Executed, Falling Sickness, Fever, Fistula, Gangrene, Gout, Grief, King's Evil, Lethargie, Spleen, Sciatica, Teeth, Thrush, and Worms

Someone needs to post detailed explanation of all those things. I hope it doesn't have to be me.

Found this: https://mediachomp.com/cause-of-deaths-in-london-in-1632/

My favorite: Thrush = yeast overgrowth / yeast infection of mouth (or genitals)

This site translates the cause of death into more modern terms.

My thoughts are with the single person who was killed by piles. What a pain in the ass way to die.

Planet.

"Sir how did your wife pass?"

"Planet."

"pardon?"

"Mars got her."

"Mars?"

"yes, The Planet. slings bow over his back and gathers arrows Mars."

I like killed by several accidents.

Also teeth seems like a popular one.

Fistula.... I'm scared to search that....

“Cancer, and Wolf.”

What?…. What?

Apropos "Cut of the Stone". I read a book about history of surgery and one chapter was about a guy who remove his own bladder stone. Back then people didn't have great hygiene and urinary track infections were common. Those would cause bladder stone that would get worse and worse witch each infection. The stone would block the urethra entrance so you would feel you like really need to pee but once you stand up you wouldn't be able to. This wasn't very pleasant so people would try to remove the stones. Typical way was to go through the taint, open the bladder, remove the stone. There's a lot of blood vessels there so survival chances were not great. Doctors refused to do it because patients would die to often and then family would blame them and they had enough shit to deal with already. So you had traveling bladder stone removers. They would do the surgery and by the time patient would die they would be on the road again.

So this one guy, a blacksmith, tried to get his stone removed twice or had two stones removed already, it's not clear. Anyway, he didn't like the traveling stoncutters. So he got a sharp knife, asked some guy to assist him and did the surgery himself.

I am going to die of Planet after I forget my parachute while sky diving.

This is specifically a Dethklok track list. Some of these are kinda brutal.

Producer: Okay, but... "Teeth?"

Band: ::complaints and groans of disbelief::

Nathan: They're like... bone knives. In your face. And kids lose their first set with blood and agony, and then you get even more. It's so f---ing brutal. So we made a song about it.

Toki: Plus it's important to teach the kids about brushing.

Swissgar: Yous don't want to be losings your bone face knives.

The fact that infants dying is the highest by far just shows how cruel nature is without modern medicine and birthing practices

Cancer, and Wolf 🤘

I'd like Kil'd by Several Accidents and ... hmm ... Planet, thanks.

Considering it was London, I'm surprised death by teeth wasn't more prevalent.

"King's evil"

Political bars.

Death by musical instrument needed its own category.

Also killed by several accidents - a series of unfortunate events.

Also those darn evil kings!

And lights are dangerous when rising.

What the fuck is "Teeth" about?

Bit with dog?

In 400 years our list of conditions will seem similarly naive and simplistic.

Been to a doctor lately? We can't cure shit. We've got a few meds that can help balance systems or mask pain. We can cut shit open and rearrange it. We can zap some shit with radiation. But actually fix anything? Nah. Maybe in another 400 years.

"Oh, look, they treated obesity as a disease. And heart disease? Hahaha that's funny. Hearts are so simple.Cant believe cancer is its own category. Everyone knows what causes that and how to treat it."

I will say the improvement in infant mortality is amazing. At no time in human history have infants had a better chance of survival than now(ish). So maybe I'm just cynical and disillusioned with the current state of my medical care.

"dead in the street, and starved"

How does one die of piles?

Rising of the lights!

Apparently any condition that caused lots of coughing.
