16th and 17th Centuries Causes of disease still unknown. Many died from infection and childbirth fever. Apothecaries made, prescribed, and sold medications. Average life span = 35 to 45 years.

Ambroise Pare 1510-1590 Father of Modern Surgery Introduced amputation to battlefield care of wounded soldiers. Promoted use of artificial limbs. Use of ligatures to stop bleeding and bind arteries.

Anton van Leeuwenhoek 1632-1723 Developed one of the most important inventions of all time – the microscope! Began using the lenses to observe the microscopic world. Discovered bacteria, protists, rotifers, and blood cells. Early microscope Rotifer

18th Century Fahrenheit created first mercury thermometer. Franklin 18th Century Fahrenheit created first mercury thermometer. Priestly discovered the element oxygen. Ben Franklin invented bifocals for glasses. Lind prescribed limes to prevent scurvy. Jenner developed first smallpox vaccine. Average life span = 40 – 50 years.

Edward Jenner 1749-1823 Edward Jenner learned early in his medical career that if at one time one had cowpox, they would not get smallpox. The human immunity from the infection of smallpox was tested by vaccinating patients with fluid from pustules of cowpox-infected patients and then showing that these subjects were immune to smallpox.

The 19th Century

19th Century Many discoveries and inventions First use of anesthetic for surgeries. International Red Cross was founded in 1863. Discovery of bacterial causes of disease. Average life span = 40 – 60 years.

Important Dates 1819: First successful human blood transfusion by James Blundell. 1819: Rene Laennec invented the stethoscope. 1849: Elizabeth Blackwell was the first female physician in the U.S. 1865: First use of antiseptics during surgery by Joseph Lister. 1892: Discovery of viruses by Dimitri Ivanfski. 1895: X-rays discovered by Wilhelm Roentgen.

The Possibilities are Endless!

Potential Increased average life span to 100+ years. Cures for current diseases like AIDS. Gene manipulation to prevent inherited diseases/Designer babies. Slow the aging process. Treatment for spinal cord injuries. Improved transplantation techniques. Reduced antibiotic resistance. Computerized body parts. Increased cloning activities. Increased average life span to 100+ years.
