The Evolution of Scientific Medicine
There are many different ways to approach the history of medicine, but for simplicity we can classify the progression of medicine into five main eras:
•Ancient Times prior to 600 BC•Greco-Roman (600 BC – 500 AD)•Middle Ages (500 AD to 1500 AD)•Renaissance/Enlightenment (1500 AD – 1800AD)•Modern (1800 to current)
Ancient Medicine (prior to 600 BC)
• Mesopotamia (Code of Hammurabi, medical procedures documented)
• Egypt (mummies, evidence of treatment by healers, attention to diagnosis and treatment)
• China (Yin-Yang - balance, acupuncture, herbal drugs, aspects of traditional Chinese medicine are still widely used today)
• India (removed bladder stones, used alcohol as anesthetic, aspects of traditional Indian Medicine are still widely used today).
Greco-Roman Medicine (600 BC – 500 AD)
• Hippocrates
• Galen

Middle Ages (500 AD – 1500 AD)
• Christian Influences in Europe
• Islamic Medicine
