MEDICINE IN THE PAST

During the last two or three decades, and especially


during the l ast decade, a change has been going on in
apeutics that is, in the doctrines of remedies for disease,
of so fundamental a character, that it may with reason be
called revolutionary. The change, however, is one which
so far is but little “understanded of the people,” is one, in
fact, of which they are almost entirely ignorant. ¿ What
reasons determine a doctor to give such and such a drug
for such and such a disease, and what led to the drug
being first used for such a purpose? the answer would in all but a few
exceptional cases run somewhat as follows:—“A doctor gives a particular drug
in a particular case, because he knows from the experience, either of himself or
of others, in similar cases, that it is more likely to do good than anything else (or
than nothing at all). I understand that some doctors are fond of ‘making
experiments,’ i.e., of giving new drugs in this or that disease to see if they can
cure it. I dare say accident sometimes suggests a possible cure, and I have a
sort of an idea that very often one remedy after another is tried at random, in
the hope that one of them at least may prove beneficial.”

The history of medicine shows how societies have changed in their approach to
illness and disease from ancient times to the present. Early medical traditions
include those of Babylon, China, Egypt and India. Sushruta, from India,
introduced the concepts of medical diagnosis and prognosis.

The Hippocratic Oath was written in ancient Greece in the 5th century BCE, and
is a direct inspiration for oaths of office that physicians swear upon entry into
the profession today. In the Middle Ages, surgical practices inherited from the
ancient masters were improved and then systematized in Rogerius's The
Practice of Surgery. Universities began systematic training of physicians around
1220 CE in Italy.
MEDICINE IN THE PRESENT

Modern medicine, or medicine as we know it,


started to emerge after the Industrial
Revolution in the 18th century. At this time,
there was rapid growth in economic activity in
Western Europe and the Americas.

During the 19th century, economic and


industrial growth continued to develop, and people made many scientific
discoveries and inventions. The practice of medicine changed in the face of
rapid advances in science, as well as new approaches by physicians. Hospital
doctors began much more systematic analysis of patients' symptoms in
diagnosis. Among the more powerful new techniques were anaesthesia, and
the development of both antiseptic and aseptic operating theatres. Effective
cures were developed for certain endemic infectious diseases. However the
decline in many of the most lethal diseases was due more to improvements in
public health and nutrition than to advances in medicine.

Scientists made rapid progress in identifying and preventing illnesses and in


understanding how bacteria and viruses work.

However, they still had a long way to go regarding the treatment and cures of
infectious diseases as seen today with the constant diseases that still have no
cure.
MEDICINE IN THE FUTURE

For the future of medicine we will take


into account scientific advances, there
are machines today that help keep
people alive artificial respirators are an
example, it would not be surprising that
with the invention of automata these
can assist in operations such as those performed on the heart.

Artificial intelligence will play a major role in the future of medicine, currently,
they work virtually and even offer medical advice through the internet,
something that a few years ago was unthinkable. But the current crisis with
COVID-19 made the application of virtual media posible, which leads to
predicting that an application can even be carried through holograms, using
virtual algorithms to identify diseases and that it is not necessary to go to the
doctor in person if the illness that is suffered does not warrant it.
