What are factors?
• Factors are the causes that have made things happen in the history of medicine.
• Each historical period is characterised by different historical factors
• Each factor plays an important role in medicine’s changes over time.
• Factors combine to either cause progression, regression or continuity

How do factors work?
• Factors combine to create progress, regress or continuity
• Although we will examine them separately remember that it would be very unusual for a single factor to alter the history of medicine.
• History does not progress in a straight line – Factors help to explain why

How do we examine factors?
• Identify the factors - see how they worked together - examine which was most important, if any.
• For example - Penicillin
Second World War
The need for an antibiotic
Individuals - Fleming, Florey and Chain
Chance - the discovery of mould!

Warfare
• War increased the need for medicine - without effective medicine there would be no army to fight!Roman army hospitals
Paré’s ointment and ligatures
Nightingale and the conditions in hospitals
Penicillin
X-rays & Skin grafts

Government
• A government needs to get involved in medicine if it wants to stay in power. The extent it does often depends on another factor - ECONOMY
• Public Health means health for all, provided by the government.
Romans - aqueducts, baths
19th Century - Public Health act
Mass vaccinations
1948 Start of NHS
Medieval towns - Plague
Industrial Cities - cholera, typhoid, high death rates

Religion
Islam preserved the works of Hippocrates and Galen
Medievel church Provided care for the needy
Kept the ideas of Galen
Some helped as they were called by God
Eyptian religion helped priests learn about anatomy/physiology
Prevented dissection
Prevented new ideas as Galen’s fitted the Churches teachings
Dissection allowed around 1400 - Protestantism began
Religious belief stops people looking for natural causes

Chance
• Chance has played a large role in medicine
• What if Pare had not run out of oil?
• Pasteur’s work on Chicken cholera was an accident.
• What if Fleming had not seen the mould? Or what if he had cleaned up?

Individuals
• Hippocrates - father of modern medicine
• Galen – opposites + work on anatomy
• Vesalius, Pare, Harvey – anatomy/physiology
• Lister, Davy, Landsteiner - surgery

Other Factors
• Communications - new methods of sharing ideas, and of stopping ideas!
• Science and Technology - new poor technology prevents advances, new machines, such as microscopes help it
• Conservatism - the desire for no change can stop good ideas from spreading

Factors
• Factors are essential - without them nothing would happen.
• All the factors play a role in medicine, helping and hindering.
• In groups examine the following questions -• Give examples of each factor helping and
hindering progress in medicine• Use the “Medicine revision notes” section of the
