Early medicine is a complicated story of sometimes very sophisticated ideas and sometimes remarkably primitive ideas. What ancient Egyptians and Greeks looked for in health care was not like modern ideas, and ‘scientific’ medicine was neither very good nor an obvious route to take. These lectures will look at how rationalist or scientific medicine was formed and grew, and the challenges it faced.
