How has medicine changed???• Medicine has been a big part in keeping
people alive and healthy. When people got sick, people didn't know the cure on how to solve it all. But now people have found out way more. The medicines that have been made have saved lots of lives, our life spans are longer. We have scans and electrical machinery to help people and doctors to find out exactly what was wrong but they never used to have high tech devices in the 1840’s so they couldn’t find out what was fully wrong with people.
Medicines and devises we now have…- Liquid- Drugs- Scans- X-rays- Operations- Utensils And more
