History of Medicine and Surgery

This blog is going to cover the following topics:

-Medicine and treatment c1350-c1750 (c means circa, and circa means around this time)
-Medicine and treatment c1750-c1900
-Medicine and treatment c1900 to present day
-Extension - Public health from c1350 to present day

It will also cover:
 The transformation of surgery! c1845-c1918

This will cover how pain was dealt with, how infection was dealt with, how blood loss was dealt with and the factors influencing these developments.

This is all to help with the Edexcel GCSE paper, Option B on Medicine and Surgery. I have obtained this information from the "Edexcel GCSE History B Schools History Project Medicine and Surgery" Textbook, written by Cathy Warren and Nigel Bushnell.

However, the information will be concise and will include all the important info!
