Summary

Description
English: Hôtel Dieu in Paris, about ad 1500. The priest on the right is issuing the last sacraments, while a nun administers to the patient on the left. Patients often slept two, three and even four to a bed, greatly increasing the rate of cross-infection. Note the nuns at the foot of the bed sewing up the shroud of a patient who probably recently shared the same bed as the patients above.
