18th Century (1700-1800 AD)18th Century (1700-1800 AD) Change in medical teaching to
include observation of patients and autopsies in addition to lectures and labs with dissections. Autopsies led to better understanding of causes of disease.
Stethoscope invented by Laennec
Joseph Priestly discovers oxygen and its role in respiration
Edward Jenner discovers vaccination as a method of prevention for smallpox

Sulfa compounds discovered to effectively kill many bacterias. Alexander Fleming found penicillin to work better.
Virus discovered Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin
develop a new but opposite methods of vaccination and effective immunizations for polio. These methods lead to immunizations for other diseases
Watson & Crick discover the molecular structure of DNA which opens the field for identification and treatment of inherited illnesses
