From ancient herbal remedies to modern breakthroughs—how has medicine evolved over centuries? The history of medicine is a journey of trial, error, and groundbreaking discoveries. Early civilizations relied on spiritual healing, herbal treatments, and surgical procedures with crude tools. The Greeks introduced the Hippocratic Oath, while medieval Europe struggled with deadly plagues. The Renaissance brought scientific inquiry, leading to discoveries in anatomy, vaccination, and germ theory. The 20th and 21st centuries saw revolutionary advancements like antibiotics, organ transplants, and genetic medicine. This book explores the major milestones, medical pioneers, and transformative moments in healthcare history. If you're intrigued by the evolution of medicine and the fight against disease, this book is a fascinating read.
