ANCIENT TIMES #12 Magic in Medicine

The doctor prescribed

magical formulas to be recited

as well as medicinal

treatments. Diseases and

mental disorders were

believed to be caused by

specific deities.

DARK AND MIDDLE AGES

BARBER-SURGEONS were common in medieval Europe. The look of the barber pole is

linked to bloodletting, with red representing blood and white representing the bandages

used to stem the bleeding. The pole itself is said to symbolize the stick that a patient

squeezed to make the veins in his arm stand out more prominently for the procedure.

DARK AND MIDDLE AGES

#6 First Successful Eye Surgery to Remove

Cataracts

• In 1020 CE Ammar ibn performed the first

successful eye surgery. He used a needle to

remove a cataract.

RENAISSANCE

#11 Andreas Vesalius stole body of execute criminal and performed

dissection

Andreas Vesalius, is remembered as one of the greatest

anatomists in history. Before Vesalius, most classical works about human

anatomy were based on Galen's books. Although Galen was a specialist, he

lived in the 2nd century AD, and there was a need to expand on his

knowledge. Many researchers tried to fill in new information over the

years, Before Vesalius Leonardo da Vinci was interested in anatomy.

Similar to da Vinci, Vesalius’ accomplishments became extremely

important for science. But unlike the artist and inventor, he wasn't very

interested in the beauty of the human body, but was fascinated with it from

a medical point of view. Vesalius’ goal was to know the human body well

enough to better heal it.

# 8 Ambroise Paré invented ligatures of arteries, designed artificial limbs, and the tourniquet.

Ambroise Pare was a French physician and one of the most notable surgeons of the European Renaissance,

regarded by some medical historians as the father of modern surgery.

In 1537 was employed as an army surgeon, where he developed new techniques in treating injured

soldiers. He observed that using a tourniquet during surgery or amputation reduced bleeding. He also

promoted use of wine to sterilize equipment during surgery and prosthetics for amputees. He introduced the

implantation of teeth, artificial limbs, and artificial eyes made of gold and silver.

By 1552 he had gained such popularity that he became surgeon to the king; he served four French

monarchs: Henry II, Francis II, Charles IX, and Henry III.

#9 The Function of Circulatory System

Explained

William Harvey published a book in

1628, detailing the function of the

circulatory system. The quarto has 17

chapters which give a clear and

connected account of the action of the

heart and the consequent movement

of the blood around the body in a

circuit.

19TH CENTURY

#10 Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup: “The Baby Killer”

• Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup was widely marketed in North

America and the United Kingdom in the late 19th and early

20th centuries as a cure-all medicine for fussy babies. The primary

ingredients of the syrup were morphine and alcohol, with

approximately 65 mg of morphine per fluid ounce.

• The1873 edition of The Health Reformer suggested that babies six

months of age receive no more than two to three drops of

laudanum, the dosages listed on the bottles of Mrs. Winslow’s

Soothing Syrup are alarming:

• For a child under one month old, the recommendation was 6 to 10

drops;

• Children three months old were to be dosed half a teaspoon;

• Children six months old and up were to be given a teaspoonful three or

four times a day!

• A teaspoonful of the syrup would have contained enough morphine

to kill the average child. There is no statistic of the number of

children that died from the use of soothing syrup but thousands of

children are believed to have died from overdoses or from

morphine addiction and withdrawal.

19TH CENTURY

#5 The invention of X-Rays

Wilhelm Roentgen, Professor of Physics in

Wurzburg, Bavaria, discovered X-rays in 1895—

accidentally—while testing whether cathode rays could

pass through glass. Because he did not know what the rays

were, he called them ‘X,’ meaning ‘unknown,’ rays.

Roentgen quickly found that X-rays would pass

through human tissue too, rendering the bones and tissue

beneath visible. News of his discovery spread worldwide,

and within a year, doctors in Europe and the United States

were using X-rays to locate gun shots, bone fractures,

kidney stones and swallowed objects. Honors for his work

poured in--including the first Nobel Prize in physics in

1901.

19TH

#7 Sitting in dead whale

carcasses to Cure Rheumatoid

Arthritis

The practice reportedly came

from an incident in which a

drunk Australian man fell into a

whale carcass and claimed to

have no more joint pains after

emerging. A local paper published

the story as a new cure for

rheumatism in 1896.

20TH CENTURY

#1 Lobotomies

A lobotomy is the separation or the removal of connections between the frontal lobes and the prefrontal cortex. Lobotomies have always been controversial, but were widely performed for more than two decades as treatment for a wide range of mental disorders, i.e schizophrenia , bipolar , etc. They effectively render patients to be zombies, unable to interact or comprehend the world.

21ST CENTURY

#4 Scientists released a rough draft of the human genome to the public.

In 2000, scientists in with the International Human Genome Project released a rough

draft of the human genome to the public. For the first time the world could read the

complete set of human genetic information and begin to discover what our roughly 23,000

genes do.
