They Removed Her Bones One by One While She Stayed Conscious

In 1348, a nun walked into a Florentine surgery chamber and paid to have her skeleton removed piece by piece—while fully conscious. No anesthesia. No restraint. No mercy.
What followed became the most disturbing medical experiment in medieval history.

This documentary exposes:
• The cult that believed extreme agony guaranteed entry to heaven
• The real “living dissection” procedure banned by the Pope for 400 years
• How a single woman’s suffering created the foundation of modern medical ethics
• The crowd of witnesses who treated her torture like entertainment

Her bones built medical science.
Her screams built our ethics.
And her legacy still shapes every surgical consent form today.

If dark, forbidden history fascinates you, subscribe—because the next chapter goes even deeper.
