History of Medicine | Story for Sleep

Lights Out Library: Sleep Documentaries

This bedtime story is about medicine and healing since the Neolithic. I will tell you about Ancient Mesopotamia and the first diagnosis and prescriptions, Ancient Egypt and the figure of Imhotep, India, and the principles of Ayurveda, or Chinese Medicine including Moxibustion and Acupuncture. We also take a look at medicine in Ancient Greece and Rome, including important figures like Hippocrates and Galen, and how this legacy passed on and was further developed in the Islamic World, Byzantium, and Medieval Europe. Then we reach the Renaissance and the steps that would lead to an increasingly scientific approach to medicine and the many discoveries of the 19th and 20th centuries, that came with important social change and professionalization (I tell you at the end about scientists like Pasteur or Koch, and Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing).
