Words for learning

healthy, ill, illness, broken bone, plant, taste, test, safe, discover, fever, medicine, sore skin


Early Medicine.


Early people were nomads – they didn't live in one place and traveled around to look for food. Early people were healthy, because they lived outdoors most of the time and they walked and ran a lot. They hunted animals and ate meat and plants when they were still fresh. Early nomads used mud to heal broken bones. If they broke an arm or a leg, they put wet mud on it. Then the mud became dry and hard, and it stopped the arm or leg moving so that the bone inside could heal.

Early people believed that they got ill because evil spirits were inside them. Many people had amulets – things that can bring luck. They hoped that their amulets could stop them being ill. People cared for each other when they were ill. A shaman was a man or woman who sang songs, danced, and did magic spells to make people well. Many people believed that these magic spells worked. Nowadays some people also visit shamans because they believe that a shaman can help them.

When early people tasted plants to test which ones were safe to eat, they sometimes discovered plants that cured illness and fever. These plants were the first medicines. One of the oldest books about medicines made from plants was written in China more than four thousand years ago. Most early medicines were made from parts of plants such as flowers. People ate the plant parts or they made them into drinks. Sometimes they made the plant parts into lotions to put on their body. Nowadays many people also use medicines made from plants. For example, we use lotions made from aloe vera plants to make sore skin feel better.

Medicine in ancient times.


Ancient Egiptians. We know about medicine in Ancient Egypt because Ancient Egiptians wrote about their world. They cut words into walls and wrote on a type of paper. We know that Ancient Egyptians used magic spells to cure people, but they also had the first doctors. These doctors made medicines from plants, and they were good at putting bandages on wounds. They also used honey to help wounds to heal. This was a good idea. Even today, doctors put honey on wounds because it helps wounds to heal quickly.

Ancient Greeks. About 2 500 years ago in Ancient Greece many people believed that evil spirits or angry gods made them ill. Hippocrates was a Greek doctor and a teacher. He is the most famous of all the Greek doctors. And he is often called “the father of medicine”. Hippocrates believed that people bacame ill because there was something wrong with there body. He told doctors to watch patients and to think about their illnesses. Doctors wrote down what they learnt. They made medicines from plants and they wrote about which medicines worked. Soon doctors started to understand different illnesses. To prevent illness they told people to eat good food, to rest often and to do exercise.

Ancient Romans. Ancient Roman doctors learnt that being dirty and drinking dirty water could make people ill. To prevent illness Ancient Romans built baths and toilets for lots of people to use. At the baths there were big pools like swimming pools. Every day Romans went to the baths to wash and to meet friends. In some places Romans built giant bridges called aqueducts that brought water to cities from the high hills. This gave people clean water that they could drink and use. Romans also built pipes to take waste away from the cities to keep the cities clean.

Words for learning

Doctors and ideas

We usually go to a doctor when we feel bad and we want to know what is wrong with us. We expect that doctors should know about our disease and how to cure it. At different times doctors had different ideas about how to diagnose and treat people.

Ayurvedic medicine started in India about 3 000 years ago. Ayurvedic doctos ask a patient about their life – how they live, what they eat and how they feel. To make people well and to prevent illness, Ayurvedic doctors tell people what foods to eat and what exercise to do. They also give people medicines made from plants, and they show them how to do yoga. Today many people around the world use Ayurvedic medicine.

Acupuncture is a type of medicine that people have used for thousands of years in China, Japan and Korea. Today, people use acupuncture in many places around the world. Acupuncture doctors put thin needles into a patients body at special places called acupuncture points. The needles stay in the body for up to 30 minutes, then the doctor takes them out. No one really knows how acupuncture works, but people often use it to treat backache, toothache and headaches and to stop people feeling ill.

influenza, plague, fight, infected, incurable, care for, nurs, ward, surgeon, badly wounded


Medicine in the Middle Ages

In the Middle Ages millions of people died from such diseases as diphtheria, typhoid, fever, influenza and leprosy. But the worst disease at that time was the plague. Plague (the “Black death”) killed millions of people in Europe and Asia. Nobody knew how to fight with the disease and people just ran away from the infected areas. Leprosy was also incurable. Patients with leprosy lived in special colonies away from other people.

The first hospitals appeared in Ceylon in the fifth century b. c. and in India in 260 b. c. During the Middle Ages hospitals were founded in Italy, France, England and other European countries. Monks and nuns cared for patients in hospitals. They were not doctors or nurses and they did not cure patients. They just gave patients food and a bed and said prayers with them. Monks and nuns cared for many patients who had the plague because the patients had to stay in hospital until they died.

At the same time in the Middle East there were many hospitals. Many doctors and nurses cared for patients there. These doctors also made medicines for patients. They treated everyone who came to them and they taught new doctors and nurses about diseases. There were different wards for different diseases in these hospitals. There were also pools and fountains because doctors thought that the sound of moving water helped patients to rest.

Barbers were the first surgeons. People could go to barber shops where the barbers cut hair. They could also pull out sore teeth. Later barbers started to treat wounds from fights and cut off arms or legs which were badly wounded.

Words for learning

inject, blood, develop, invent, pain, surgery, discover, x-rays, vaccine, smallpox


Scientific developments of the 18th - 20th centuries.

During the 18th century doctors discovered cures for many dangerous diseases such as smallpox (оспа). In 1796 a British doctor Edward Jenner developed a method of “vaccination”. He made smallpox vaccines from cowpox – a disease that cows had. His vaccine stopped thousands of people dying from smallpox. The vaccine is a weak type of a virus or bacteria. When a vaccine is injected to a patient his body starts to make antibodies (substances in the blood that can kill viruses and bacteria). In future the patient who has been vaccinated will not get this disease again because the antibodies in his body will kill viruses or bacteria if they get inside the body.

Later in the 19th century a French chemist Louis Pasteur developed Edward Jenners invention and made a vaccine for hydrophobia. Louis Pasteur is also known as the founder of modern microbiology. He discovered that infection was caused by germs that were spread through the air. He proved that germs could be killed in liquids by heat and developed the process of pasteurisation.

About one thousand years ago doctors in the Middle East started to make anesthetics (drugs which help patients not to feel pain). The first anesthetics were made from plants. Doctors made some plants into medicines for patients to put into their mouth. Later new anesthetics were invented. One of them was cocain which was discovered in the 19th century. Cocain was very effective as a local anesthetic.Surgeons could inject cocain into a certain part of the body and stop the patient feeling pain during the surgery. When the problem of pain was solved surgeons could perform long and complicated operations.

In 1895 Wilhelm Roentgen discovered X-rays. He placed his hand in front of the apparatus and saw that the rays passed through the hand and cast a shadow of bones on the screen. These rays were unknown to him and he called them X-rays.

During the first part of the 20th century a lot of important advances were made. In 1922 Frederik Banting discovered that insulin was very effective against diabetes. In 1928 Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin. It was used in hospitals to reduce infections in wounds during the Second World War. After penicillin a series of other anti-infectious drugs were discovered. All these drugs are known as antibiotics.

The discovery of penicillin.

Penicillin was the world's first antibiotic. Antibiotics are drugs that can cure illnesses caused by bacteria, Before penicillin people could die from a small wound in their skin if bacteria made the wound become infected. Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928. This is how it happened.

One day Fleming's assistant brought him a plate on which a colony of dangerous bacteria were being grown. “This plate can not be used for the experiment” said the assistant. “Some mould (плесень) has formed on it and I'll have to take another plate”. Fleming was ready to allow his assistant to do so. Then he looked at the plate and saw that the bacteria around the mould had disappeared. Fleming understood the importance of what had happened and immediately began to study the phenomenon. He placed some mould on other plates and grew more colonies. After numerous experiments on animals he found out that this new substance was not toxic to the tissues and stopped the growth of the most common pathogenic bacteria. Fleming called this substance penicillin. It was of the same family of moulds that often appear on dry bread.

But a method of extracting pure penicillin was found only after many investigations. Two other scientists, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain, tested penicillin to find out if it was safe to use. They also made penicillin that they could inject. In 1942 Fleming carried out his own first experiment. His friend was nearly dying from an infectious disease. After several injections of penicillin the man recovered completely.

A. Fleming received the Nobel Prize for his great discovery. But he said: “Everywhere I go people thank me for saving their lives. I do not know why they do it. I didn't do anything. Nature makes penicillin. I only found it.”
