I feel that this is an important era/event because it was a time of revolutionary advances for that period. With the help of Leonardo da Vinci and Michealangelo.  The artist were able to draw an realistic representation of the human body. Which was then used to teach medical students about the body. This even increased longevity from 30 to 40 which meant a lot back then.]]> 2018-09-09 14:15:10 UTC https://padlet.com/10032430/st3vrn318rzu/wish/279161340 10032430 https://padlet.com/10032430/st3vrn318rzu/wish/279162618 Anton Van Leeuwenhoek was the Father of Microbiology. He contributed the microscope to the world as we know it. The microscope is used to look at wee organisms that can't be seen with the naked eye. By using this the practitioners were bale to identify the germs and bacteria that caused these horrendous outbreaks. He was able to make observations on stuff like blood vessels. This is the foundation for microbiology. In the end, the microscope is long lived and changed how medicine is seen. ]]> 2018-09-09 14:31:38 UTC https://padlet.com/10032430/st3vrn318rzu/wish/279162618 10032430 https://padlet.com/10032430/st3vrn318rzu/wish/279168268 Thanks to Florence Nightingale's constancy the way nursing has grown and revolutionized has been incredible. She fought for the poor sanitary and hygiene conditions which ultimately led to some of the diseases. She held this close to her heart and found repair within the broken health care system that aided the poor and wounded soldiers. She showed the correlation between poor sanitary conditions and higher number of deaths and this transformed many things. Her efforts are very much appreciated and conditions in war and in hospitals were never the same.]]> 2018-09-09 15:32:45 UTC https://padlet.com/10032430/st3vrn318rzu/wish/279168268 10032430 https://padlet.com/10032430/st3vrn318rzu/wish/279171006 Clara Barton founded one of the most prolific organizations of America. She became a public figure for the wounded soldiers and lack of supplies. She remained persistent and was able to have the U.S. join the Treaty of Geneva. Her contributions meant a lot to the world. Because of her countries are able to have a chance at much needed help whether it be war or natural disasters. This brought much calm to what situations seemed like whirlwinds.]]> 2018-09-09 16:03:00 UTC https://padlet.com/10032430/st3vrn318rzu/wish/279171006 10032430 https://padlet.com/10032430/st3vrn318rzu/wish/279172886 The act was put in place to fight against smallpox. Smallpox was a very serious disease in which many children contracted, and never lived to see adult hood. Dr. Edward Jenner discovered the vaccine for smallpox. But devious doctors gave out crooked versions of the vaccines causing an even larger outbreak within the states. But to have actually put the Vaccine Act in place says a lot about America and the lengths it'll go to protect its dear citizens.]]> 2018-09-09 16:22:31 UTC https://padlet.com/10032430/st3vrn318rzu/wish/279172886 10032430 https://padlet.com/10032430/st3vrn318rzu/wish/279173756 René Laënnec made a huge contribution to the world and everyday life. When we go to the doctor's office it is common that the doctor checks our breathing and heartbeat. All because René Laënnec made that possible. With the invention of the stethoscope he was able to discover melanoma, cirrhosis, and tuberculosis. I feel this is important because it is better able to understand some respiratory problems that are still around today.

Also before the Royal College came along many didn't know the proper procedures but having a school put in place could give those proper credentials. And the formal education about certain practices. Although only in England, information spread and everyone else was able to learn.

Miller Reese invented the battery hearing aid. With the hopes of helping and deaf and speechless friend. After many trials it was was his acousticon that finally won many people over. Just in fact that Queen Alexandria had one and earned at least 90%of her hearing back. This is important because hearing and speech is what makes the world go round.

He researched different bacteria and ultimately came up with a vaccine for typhoid. His discovery helped along the front lines for soldier. And it calmed the typhoid whirlwind down. I think its important because had it not been for his research many soldiers nor civilians would have made it.

Through modeling how DNA looks. And what DNA consist of. such as adenine and thymine. Through this study they were able to look into hereditary diseases and traits. This discovery is important because now early on doctors an detect certain diseases and traits all due to their model of DNA.

He made a huge difference by discovering how white blood cells can kill bad bacteria. Had it not been for his discovery the world may have never known about how such small piece of the human body does such much good by killing of harmful bacteria.

By doing this he risked the boy's life and irreversible damage. He did this alongside 70 others surgeons. It is huge accomplishments like this that push the healthcare field even further. Know it is more commonly done.

He was an innovative person he actually looked into using the body as means to solve some of the sickness that went on and didn't blame it on evil spirits. Which was a common practice of that time.  Because of him using the body he saw epilepsy in children

And if any kinds of medicine was used it was just herbs. This put the life expectancy till 20 to 30 years.]]> 2018-09-09 19:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/10032430/st3vrn318rzu/wish/279188303 10032430 https://padlet.com/10032430/st3vrn318rzu/wish/279189372 The bubonic outbreak was  fairly large it killed many of the populations in Europe and Asia. At this time typhoid, smallpox, malaria, diphtheria, and tuberculosis was still going around. I think this was an important event because it made people wanna get out and find a cure instead of praying it away like it had done in the pass. (This would be the outfit of a doctor during the plague)

The book itself was really available thanks to the printing press. His contribution is important because this was the base for learning about human anatomy.

Because at this time you wouldn't see women hold such powerful status. This proves that women can do just as much as men. ]]> 2018-09-09 19:41:29 UTC https://padlet.com/10032430/st3vrn318rzu/wish/279192282 10032430 https://padlet.com/10032430/st3vrn318rzu/wish/279193452 Bayer came out with Aspirin in 1899.
