| | Ancient Egyptian Medicine |
 | | Ancient papyrus inform us that the Ancient Egyptians were discovering things about how the human body worked and they knew that the heart, pulse rates, blood and air were important to the workings of the human body. | | | The Ancient Egyptians, like the Ancient Greeks and Romans, have provided modern historians with a great deal of knowledge and evidence about their attitude towards medicine and the medical knowledge that they had. | | | In Ancient Egypt, the treatment of illnesses was no longer carried out only by magicians and medicine men. |

| | Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, taught the prevention of disease through a regimen of diet and exercise; he emphasized careful observation of the patient, the recuperative powers of nature, and a high standard of ethical conduct, as incorporated in the Hippocratic Oath. | | | In Greek medicine the impetus for the rational approach came largely from the speculations of the pre-Socratic philosophers and such philosopher-scientists as Pythagoras, Democritus, and Empedocles. | | | Empirical medicine developed in ancient Egypt, and involved the use of many potent drugs still in use today, such as castor oil, senna, opium, colchicine, and mercury. |

| | A second kind of medicine might be called "natural cures," or "folk medicine", where less educated and less intellectual people try to cure sicknesses with various herbs like pennyroyal or valerian, such as you find in health food stores today. | | | One of these might be called "doctor medicine," or "scientific medicine," where people try to observe sicknesses and look for logical patterns and figure out how the human body works and from there figure out what treatments might work. | | | It is very organized and nowadays it is successful, but in the ancient world this theoretical approach probably did not cure very many patients. |

| | Ancient Egyptian Medicine |
| | The last type of physician called the magician-physician, was not trained in medicine and only used spells to cure the ill. This signifies that although the Egyptians made advances in the field of medicine, the aspect of magic never their medicine. | | | One of their greatest achievements was in the field of medicine because they replaced myth with medical fact, this laid the foundations for modern medical practice. | | | Many of the therapies used today are similar to those used in ancient Egyptian times such as the method of treating a fractured bone. |

| | Ancient Rome - Medicine |
| | Thought medicine was more highly regarded in Greece than in Rome, physicians were basically craftsmen, probably enjoying some esteem among their customers, but not being part of the socio-political elite. | | | The negative realm of Roman medicine started in its early history. | | | Plutarch grumbles that practitioners used all sorts of questionable methods to gain patients, ranging from escorting the prospective patient home from bars to sharing dirty jokes with him. |

| | Sekhmet And The Art of Ancient Egyptian Medicine |
| | Ancient Kemetic medicine was acknowledged by both Hippocrates and Galan as having contributed in large part to their own information and knowledge. | | | Although many of Ancient Kemet's physicians were products of their day, and they very much were aware of the power of magic, many a scientific mind was able to discern and observe practical clinical case studies and documented them extensively. | | | However, some of the more superstitious emphasis with regards to medicine, seems to have been a late development in Ancient Kemet's history, for initially in early extant medical papyri, there is little and sometimes absolute no mention of magical incantations or spells. |

| | The traditional, heroic account of ancient medicine as the gradual accumulation of skills and knowledge from early Greece to Galen is not abandoned, but balanced. | | | Professor Vivian Nutton, in his magisterial study that is, apparently, "the first large-scale history of ancient medicine in a single volume for almost 100 years", looks beyond the Hippocratic method and tradition to the other medical practices of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. | | | Think "ancient medicine", and for most, Hippocrates comes to mind. |

| | Ancient Rome, Sophisticated Doctors |
| | Like the modern medical practice, Ancient Roman medicine was split among different specialties, such as internists, ophthalmologists, and urologists. | | | Similarly, Ancient Roman surgeons had a wide range of painkillers and sedatives to help in surgery, including extracts of opium poppies (morphine) and of henbane seeds (scopolamine). | | | For the next five hundred years, fueled by the motivations and opportunity for medical advancement supplied by the many battles, and supported by the powers that be, this serious group advanced the study and practice of medicine to a level not seen again until late in the nineteenth century. |

| | A society used to medical marvels of the late 20th century might naturally assume that ancient medicine was a primitive affair. | | | Then there's acupuncture, developed in ancient China, rediscovered by Western medicine in the 1970s, and just given a partial endorsement by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). | | | Long before Galen, ancient Chinese physicians realized that the pulse seemed harder in people who ate a lot of salty food. |

| | The emphasis of the earlier medicine is not on the humours, the focus on diet, or small surgery but on prescriptions, medicines, and the observation of symptoms which indicate life or death. | | | After becoming professor of medicine in 1701 Boerhaave emphasized the importance of a structured course of the study of medicine from natural sciences via basic medical sciences to medical practice. | | | In Ancient Egypt, it appears that, apart from a religious side to practice of medicine (the attachment to temples and the recitation of magical spells), there was also effective surgery and therapy. |

| | Our debt to the Greeks for providing the foundation of medicine is more correctly an appreciation of their work as faithful scribes recording the pharmacology of Egypt than as the originators of the science of medicine. | | | The Egyptians were advanced medical practitioners for their time, they are credited with being the first to use and record advanced medical practises, they based their knowledge from careful and astute observations, as well as trial and error. | | | This led to the advancement of medical science worldwide. |

| | Ancient Roman Medicine |
| | The first things you come across when researching the history of ancient medicine are the works ascribed to Hippocrates of the Greek Island of Cos. | | | His immediate Roman followers, not surprisingly, were called "Hippocratici", but their other common name was more illustrative of their medical philosophy: they were called "dogmatici" or dogmatics, because they didn't question the medical dogmas which were handed down through their founders Thessalus, the son, and Polybus, the son-in-law of Hippocrates (about 400 BC). | | | It is the last that most awes modern observers, and among the surgical procedures, it is trephination -- cutting holes in the skull to relieve pain and pressure -- that most often steals the spotlight. |

| | Works |
| | Let us inquire then regarding what is admitted to be Medicine; namely, that which was invented for the sake of the sick, which possesses a name and practitioners, whether it also seeks to accomplish the same objects, and whence it derived its origin. | | | Certain sophists and physicians say that it is not possible for any one to know medicine who does not know what man is [and how he was made and how constructed], and that whoever would cure men properly, must learn this in the first place. | | | It is difficult, seeing that there is no such accuracy in the Art, to hit always upon what is most expedient, and yet many cases occur in medicine which would require this accuracy, as we shall explain. |

| | Ancient Greek medicine |
| | The works of Hippocrates and his followers led to several scientific facts being recorded for the first time: and perhaps more significantly the work of these philosophers began a tradition of studying the cause of disease rather than looking solely at the symptoms when prescribing a cure. | | | Medical practice in Ancient Greece, like Egypt, was based largely upon religious beliefs. | | | Likewise the methodology employed by the Greeks has, to a large extent, been retained and modified to form what we now consider to be conventional medicine. |
