The TERRIFYING Fate of a Victorian Tuberculosis Victim | History For Sleep

Get early episodes & bonus perks on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorianTonight we’re not just coughing politely into a handkerchief — we’re diving headfirst into the gasping, sweating, slowly suffocating nightmare of a Victorian tuberculosis victim. You’ll live every fevered breath, every useless remedy, every wheezing moment of decline as society quietly blames you for dying the wrong way, in the wrong clothes, at the wrong income bracket.From tenement slums to death-hotel sanitariums, from cod liver oil to post-mortem photos, this is the full-body horror of dying fashionably in the 19th century. With calm narration, dark humor, and grim historical detail, we’ll walk you through the long, phlegm-filled descent that claimed millions — beautifully, tragically, and very, very slowly.
