Summary

Dr James Barry was the very first European doctor to perform a caesarean section in which both mother and baby survived, he was a pioneer in preventative medicine, befriended a revolutionary and had a spat with the lady with the lamp herself, Florence Nightingale. Despite such accolades and an exciting life, a secret was discovered upon Barry's death that created a scandal and caused the British military to seal Dr Barry's records for a hundred years.

Music Hi everybody and welcome to Who Did What Now, the History Podcast. It's Not Your History Class with me your host, Katie Charlwood, History Harlot and Reader of Books.

0:36.6

Before I get into any part of this episode, we have to start off with a disclosure.

0:42.3

I, as a general role, tend to teach history in the same manner in which I speak in my daily life,

0:49.5

which means I use colloquial terms, I use layman's language, and, you know, I often swear like a sailor,

0:59.5

so if you aren't keen on, you know, curse words, swearing and the like, this is not the

1:05.8

fucking podcast for you. And I'm going to suggest that you go listen to something else,

2:08.2

because it is Pride Month and I really want to share stories of like amazing people and just
