Epidemiology and the History of Medicine

The history of medicine at this time is going through a major transformation. Many people believe m ineran from 17 55 to 18 66, that this idea that god or some other kind of supernatural force is the reason why you're sick. So most historians have already documented that. Andi like, all right, look, here's supernatural forces. Here's miasthma thinking. Here's germ theory. But if we only focus on the laboratories and doctors, and we don't look at the patients, we continue to tell the history of medicine as a story that only focuses on changes in healing," he says.
