The First Signs.

            Usual symptoms a lot of medieval doctors would look for were: high fever, feeling of sickness, chills, headaches, delirium, hemorrhages under skin, darkened skin, white coating on the tongue, sensitivity of light and swollen lymph nodes. These were the common symptoms patients had. If these symptoms show, the doctors knew that the patient had a form of the plague. The doctors had right by law to put the victims of the Black death in a quarantine. If the doctors didn't put then in a quarantine though, then the victims would go back to their houses and try to heal by getting blessed by a priest.

            There would be lab tests held on the victims to see how they got the disease. The tests were also to see if there was any way the doctors or anyone else could help cure the disease. As many times as the doctors held lab tests over and over again, they still couldn't find a stable way to cure the Black Death. There wasn’t a way to cure the Black Death in the middle ages, so most of its victims died. The very few who lived were then immune to the disease though. So the next time the plague came around, they were prepared. After the first round of the Black Death, there were about 3 or 4 more times it struck again in Europe and other countries. The first time though, the plague was the most devastating.
