Medicine has come a long way.-VIRTUAL INTERPRETATION

I read through some of the documents that the professor gave to us on our flash drive. I read into Italian and Greek medicine and found it quite interesting. Surgery, pathology, bone fractures, hygiene was all a part of medicine studies among the Greeks like Hippocrates. They wrote about the smallest details about our body and how it works. Medicine was a part of the medieval world way back then and has probably given vital information to doctors and scientists of today. Even woman of the middle ages were involved in practice. They were the midwives who helped in the birth of babies. Everything seems to have gotten more complicated to me today. The facts from this folder are amazing to me because even though I already learned about such facts before, it refreshes my mind on these topics and it's always good when that happens. The pictures of all the plants used for medicine shows a little of they used natural products and how a lot of medicines today aren't like that anymore. Medicine has definetely come a long way since the middle ages period.
