3000BC - 300BC: The Ancient Egyptians maintained health records for the first time in history.

# data[].attributes.body
Health records were an important invention because the recordings allowed doctors to see patterns in patient symptoms and could link their patients with the same symptoms to locations. This let them track pandemics so they could try and stop the spread of diseases that had not been found yet. Without these records, we might not have known how disease spreads or what type of symptoms go with each type of illness today

These universities lead to a standardized education of doctors so every doctor could have an equal amount of knowledge of medicine and so they could all give the best care possible. Without universities, doctors still might not all know the same things so they might treat patients differently. This could lead to doctors not all giving the right treatments to patients.

# data[].attributes.body
Dissection lead to discoveries about the human body that would not have been made without dissecting bodies. Because doctors knew more about the body from dissection, they could work on treatments for illnesses that originate inside of the human body. Without dissection, we would not know nearly as much about the structure of the human body as we do today.

This book helped educate people about the human body and how it works. It helped people know what is normal for their body to do and what is not. It helped people know if they needed to see their doctor. Without this book, we might not know as much about the human body as we do currently.

Mid to Late 1500's: Ambroise Paré made discoveries about how to treat patients with bleeding wounds.

# data[].attributes.body
These discoveries let the doctors focus on the issues inside of the wound instead of the wound itself. It also made patients more comfortable and helped patients live longer because they lost less blood. Without these discoveries it would be hard for people to get surgeries today because they would bleed a lot and the risk of dying from blood loss might be too much for a patient to get the surgery they need.

The invention of the microscope lead doctors to find diseases that caused people to become sick. Doctors were then able to create treatments for these illnesses. This lead to a better understanding of diseases and illnesses in the future. Without the microscope, we would not be able to see the things that cause us to become sick so we could not make medicines to kill them off.

These people began an industry that is very important today. These peoples' businesses lead to a system that is still used today for the prescribing and selling of medications. Without the Apothecaries' businesses doctors would have to learn how to make and distribute medicine along with diagnosing their patient. This would be a lot of work for one person

Vaccines were able yo begin to limit the amount of people that get sick for pandemics. These vaccines lead to the development of vaccines for common illnesses today like the flu. Without the discovery of vaccines, many illnesses would not be able to be treated and more people would die from these illnesses.

The humane treatment of patients with mental illnesses is very important because this lead to the acceptance of mentally ill people into the world today. Without Dr. Pinel's work, many great and brilliant people would be locked up and tortured just because they have a chemical imbalance.

# data[].attributes.body
The founding of nurse training programs was very important because it helped doctors know that their co-workers know as much about medicine as they should and they can rely on them when their hands are full. If there had not been nurse training programs then doctors would not have the help that they need and it would take a lot of time for patients to get the procedures done since there would not be adequate help.

# data[].attributes.body
The use of disinfectants and antiseptics was important because it reduced the risk of infections. Infections use to cause many deaths after surgery because there was no way to prevent the infection. Without antiseptics and disinfectants, surgery would have a huge risk to it and many people would die due to infections.

The discovery of viruses let doctors see the cause of many illnesses that were hard to treat because there was no known origin of the illness. Now, doctors can find was to treat illnesses caused by viruses. If viruses were not discovered, doctors would not be able to treat illnesses like the flu easily and many people would die from illnesses caused by viruses because they c

The discovery of X-Rays allowed doctors to see what was going on inside of the human body without having to do surgery. It let them see how the bones looked when they are broken so they could find ways to fix the injury. Without this invention, we would not be able to see exactly where a bone is broken so we could not treat it as well as we could.

The development of health insurance is important because it allowed many people to get the health services they need even if they do not have all of the money for the procedure at that moment. Without health insurance today, the health industry would be small because many people would not be able to afford the services and more people would die because they did not have the money to get the service they need.

This discovery is important because Penicillin fights off different bacteria to make the ill person healthy again. After this discovery, doctors were able to prescribe medications with penicillin in them to fight off bacteria that causes things such as ear infections. Without this discovery, we would not be able to treat illnesses caused by bacteria easily.

This is an important discovery because it lead into a whole new view on genetics and how they work. Now, people can begin to understand how genetic disorders work and can learn how to correct them. Without this discovery, we would still not understand how several disorders like Down Syndrome are able to be prevented.

This event had an impact on today's health care because it lead to the realization that artificial organs are able to be created and used in people. This spurred research in artificial organs so that soon there will all types of artificial organs available.

# data[].attributes.body
This event impacted modern-day care because the NIH can now ensure that all complementary and alternative services are updated on all new medical treatments and warnings. This also allows a big organization to begin more research on these methods in the hope to find new cures and ways to cope with illnesses. Without this organization, some practices might be dangerous to people and there would be no way to prevent these methods.
