A Brief History of Medicine from Hippocrates to Gene Therapy

---

from selfless geniuses to self-promoting quacks, medicine has attracted all manner of human characters. In the case of bombastic sixteenth-century German Paracelsus, there is curious blend of the two; at the opposite end of the scale is the quiet English Country doctor Edward Jenner, whose vaccine eliminated the scourge of smallpox. Paul strathern follows the development of medicine through the lives of its greatest practitioners, whose discoveries shaped the course of medical history.
The origin of modern medicine date from William Harvey's discovery of the circulation of the blood during the early sixteenth century. But its root stretch back as far as Hippocrates in ancient Greece, when medicine first began to emerge from religious and mystical practices and began instead to rely upon observation and reason.
