Calvin Coolidge Jr. died from sepsis in 1924. He was playing tennis and got a blister on his foot, it was infected and there were no meds to stop the infection.
I used to work in the American medical system and I can speak for hours about all the abuses and stupid mistakes Western medicine can make. But I can do even more on how people hurt themselves by not going to doctors.
There was a fellow who had arm apin and went to a chiropractor. Heart attack.

Actually most of your friends would be gatherers
Just a fancy name for ‘hunters of fruits and berries!’
I got a cousin, lost a finger to a jackfruit but he still managed to take the sumbitch down. Dude wears its skin as a helmet now.
I mean you can shit standing up today…
Waffle stomping?
Blue waffle.
you get a scratch, you die in pain from infection a week later
That’s part of “no growing old 😃”

Bob Marley died from gangrene following a football injury on his toe.
I assume he had ‘reasons’ not to go to a doctor?

I imagined they would be squatting for shits
What’s stopping you from shitting standing up now?
Failure at hunting for a couple of days means you die of starvation
IIRC hunter-gatherers had such varied sources of food and strong food-sharing networks that starvation wasn’t so common as one would expect
Looking at Trump once tells me our ancestors got lucky quite often.
