Medieval Medicine (c1250-1500)

Life in medieval England was tough, and so was dealing with illness. People faced serious problems like malnutrition from lack of food and leprosy, a nasty skin disease that spread easily.

The Church dominated everything, including medicine. Most people believed illness was punishment from God for their sins, so they turned to prayer rather than practical treatments. This religious view meant medical progress was incredibly slow.

Astrology played a huge role in diagnosis - doctors actually used star charts to figure out what was wrong with patients! They genuinely believed the alignment of planets determined illness, which seems mad now but made perfect sense to them at the time.

Quick Fact: Some criminals faced vivisection - being dissected whilst still alive, which was as horrific as it sounds!

The Four Humours Theory

Here's the big idea that dominated medieval medicine: your body contained four liquids called humours - blood, black bile, yellow bile, and phlegm. Keep them balanced, and you'd stay healthy.

This theory came from Hippocrates, an ancient Greek physician, but Galen (a Roman doctor) really developed it. Galen created the theory of opposites - if you had too much cold, wet phlegm, you'd eat hot chillies to balance it out.

Each humour linked to seasons and weather. Spring meant blood (warm and moist), summer brought yellow bile (warm and dry), autumn had black bile (cold and dry), and winter meant phlegm (cold and moist). Galen also wrongly believed blood was made in the liver and just sloshed around the body.

Remember This: The four humours theory lasted for centuries because it seemed logical - balance equals health!

Medieval Diagnosis and Treatment

Medieval doctors carried a vademecum meaninggowithmemeaning 'go-with-me' - basically a medical handbook with diagnosis tips and urine charts. Checking your wee was a big part of medieval diagnosis!

Most medical ideas stayed exactly the same throughout the Middle Ages. People still followed Hippocrates and Galen, the Church controlled thinking, and technology barely advanced until the printing press arrived in 1440.

Treatment fell into three main categories: supernatural (loads of praying), herbal remedies and bathing, and four humours treatments like bleeding and purging. The big problem? Most treatments cost money. Physicians, apothecaries, and barber surgeons all charged fees, but women provided free care.

Key Point: Medieval medicine showed massive continuity - the same ideas stuck around for centuries with barely any change.

Medieval Hospitals

Medieval Britain had nearly 1,200 hospitals, but here's the catch - only about 10% actually treated sick people! Most were more like hostels for travellers or places for monks and nuns to pray.

Specialist hospitals did exist for certain conditions like maternity care. Monks and nuns ran most hospitals, focusing more on spiritual care than medical treatment. Even medical schools started opening alongside hospitals.

The Hôtel Dieu in Paris was special because the king's doctors actually worked there. However, most 'normal' hospitals didn't even have a single doctor on staff - they relied on religious care instead.

Surprising Truth: Medieval hospitals cared more about saving souls than saving lives!

Renaissance Medicine (c1500-1700)

The Renaissance kicked off the Scientific Method and challenged old ideas. In Britain, the Royal Society formed in 1660, giving educated people a place to discuss revolutionary new theories.

Some physicians started rejecting the four humours theory that had dominated for centuries. New chemical treatments appeared, and in 1564, someone theorised that disease spread through 'seeds' in the air - pretty close to germ theory!

Three massive breakthroughs happened: William Harvey proved blood circulated around the body (1628), Thomas Sydenham suggested illness came from external factors (1676), and by 1638, powerful microscopes let scientists see things never seen before.

Game Changer: The Renaissance marked the beginning of evidence-based medicine rather than just following ancient authorities!

Renaissance Medical Pioneers

Thomas Sydenham became known as the 'English Hippocrates' through his detailed observations of disease. His books on fevers (1666), medical observations (1676), and gout (1683) changed how doctors approached illness.

Andreas Vesalius published 'The Fabric of the Human Body' (1543) and corrected over 300 of Galen's mistakes through actual dissection. Traditional doctors hated him for criticising their beloved Galen!

Renaissance treatments showed both continuity and change. People still used bleeding, purging, and herbal remedies, but new ideas emerged: transference theory, new plants from exploration, atmospheric theories, and even fines for not keeping streets clean.

Bold Move: Vesalius literally rewrote anatomy by proving Galen wrong through hands-on dissection!

Medical Breakthroughs (18th-19th Century)

William Harvey proved blood flowed in one direction around the body, not just sloshing about as Galen claimed. Lots of doctors criticised him, but he cut open bodies and proved Galen completely wrong.

Edward Jenner developed the smallpox vaccination, though the Royal Society initially rejected his discovery. By 1979, smallpox was completely wiped out worldwide - pretty impressive!

Louis Pasteur, a French chemist, discovered that heating liquids killed bacteria (pasteurisation). In 1861, he published his Germ Theory, proving that germs caused disease, not bad air (miasma).

Medical Revolution: Germ theory completely changed medicine by showing tiny organisms, not bad air, caused disease!

Public Health Heroes

Robert Koch became the 'father of bacteriology' by discovering specific bacteria. In 1882, he found the tuberculosis bacteria, and in 1883, he discovered cholera bacteria and proved it spread through water.

Florence Nightingale revolutionised hospital care during the Crimean War. She cleaned and organised hospitals so well that death rates fell from 40% to less than 2% in under six months! Her book 'Notes on Nursing' (1859) became essential reading.

Other heroes included James Simpson (chloroform anaesthetic), Joseph Lister (carbolic acid antiseptic), and Edwin Chadwick (improved street conditions). These people saved countless lives through practical improvements.

Amazing Impact: Nightingale's cleaning methods dropped hospital death rates by 95% in just six months!

Modern Medicine Emerges

John Snow, London's leading anaesthetist, proved cholera spread through water in 1855 by mapping cases around infected water pumps. His detective work saved thousands of lives.

The Public Health Act 1875 transformed living conditions by providing clean water, proper sewage disposal, public toilets, better housing, and improved food quality. This prevented more disease than most medical treatments!

Modern breakthroughs included Crick and Watson discovering DNA structure (1953), Alexander Fleming finding penicillin (1928), and Florey and Chain developing it further. The NHS launched in 1948, providing free healthcare for everyone.

Life Changer: The NHS meant quality healthcare became a right, not a privilege for the wealthy!

Medicine During WWI

The Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) exploded from 9,000 members in 1914 to 113,000 by 1918, including doctors, stretcher bearers, and ambulance drivers. Many were brave volunteers risking their lives.

First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (FANY) saw women volunteers working on the front line, setting up mobile bathing units and driving ambulances. They proved women could handle dangerous medical work.

Soldiers faced horrible conditions: trench foot, trench fever, shell shock, gas attacks, and dysentery. The Thomas splint for leg fractures was brilliant, reducing death rates from 80% to 20%. Major battles like the Somme (1916) killed 57,000 British soldiers but drove medical innovation forward rapidly.

War Innovation: WWI's horrific injuries forced rapid medical advances that saved millions of lives later!

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
