Ambroise Pare was born in the year 1510. He was raised in France by his parents. When he was nineteen he moved to Paris, France to study at the Hotel Dieu (hospital). His first major discovery was that healing gun wounds with boiling oil not the correct way to heal the wounds. In this time period the Italian Wars were taking place this discovery saved many of the injured soldiers’ lives.

Soon after his discovery he wrote a book called The Method of Curing Wounds Made by Arquebus and Other Firearms. Ambroise wrote a second book later. He helped make artifical limbs and helped create Ambroise changed the way we heal firearm wounds forever. Without his discovery we may have still been using boiling oil. By Ryley Gettle

    It was the birth of the first antibiotic. Fleming was not the first to notice the bacteria-killing property of Penicillium, but he was the first to study it scientifically and publish the results. In fact, Fleming had been looking for bacteria-killing substances for a number of years, ever since he had served as a medical officer in World War I and witnessed soldiers dying from bacteria-caused infections. He had already discovered one such antimicrobial agent—the chemical lysozyme—which he detected in his own tears and nasal mucus, so he knew what bacteria-killing signs to look for. If you’ve ever seen a piece of moldy bread or rotting fruit, then you’ve met the Penicillium fungus.…

    In 1914, during the Second World War, soldiers were dying like flies with massive numbers of dead at over 10 million. Automatic rifles and artillery fire were no respecters of person, nor was chemical warfare, no matter what side you were fighting on. If a bullet didn’t kill a soldier, it was almost a death sentence if he was wounded in battle, no matter how minor the wound. This death sentence was caused by wound infections, and the doctors in the field hospitals were working fervently to save lives. Alexander Fleming was one of those doctors.…

    For example as mentioned above artists were employed to draw the dissections thus storing knowledge, through art the ‘printing press’ was invented by Guttenberg in 1454, this was able to make copies of the art thus sharing the knowledge, however not only did the copies share knowledge, they were also allowed to be questioned by others if they thought theorems weren’t right . This was acceptable as the Renaissance was a time of enquiry meaning that individuals could use their own knowledge to contribute to medical progress. In the past the church had band dissection on humans and was only performed very rarely and only on criminals, however in the Renaissance, these religious barriers were lifted allowing huge discoveries in surgery and comparing human anatomy . Experiments could be carried out to see if medicines worked and were successful before being released to the public. Pare was able to make discoveries and advances purely by chance and the opportunities to put this to practice were at war; the painful process of using hot oil to seal a wound soon came to a halt as pare ran out of oil, thus he was forced to use an old roman remedy of rose oil, egg yolk and turpentine, not only did he discover this worked, he noticed that pain was reduced massively compared to those treated with…

    After religious prohibitions on human dissections and surgical operations were weakened, many discoveries and experiments were made. (WB Encyclopedia 60) The surgeon, teacher, and brilliant anatomist Andreas Versalius was the founder of modern medicine. Before his time, Renaissance doctors continued to follow the methods of the ancient Greeks. They relied mostly on the works and discoveries of Galen, a Greek physician of the 2nd Century AD. He based most of his conclusions about human anatomy from dissections on Barbary Apes. As a student attending the University of Padua, Versalius made his own ideas of the human anatomy. He conducted and performed dozens of dissections, as well as collecting bones from the graveyards, public gallows, and mortuaries. This experience made his ideas and conclusions even more accurate.…

    By the 19th century medicine made ample advances through the work of doctors and scientists that refused to use pseudoscience to answer medical and scientific questions. Surgeon John Hunter developed the medical community’s understanding of how peoples’ bodies’ organs affect their health. Physician Edward Jenner’s studies allowed for doctors to trace various sicknesses back to their true causes. A vaccine to help fight small pox was discovered. Chemist Sir Humphrey Davy found one could inhale nitrous oxide gas to become unconscious during surgery, and two great discoveries in science were made: antiseptics and anesthetics (Hughes 63).…
