Health Care History


Over the centuries, medicine has evolved and physicians have evolved with it.  Here are early prototypes of medical specialties:




Surgery






Anesthesia





OBGYN








Neurosurgery



Orthopedics








Internal Medicine










And Pulmonary.










Physicians have a peculiar vulnerability to the whims of fashion. 


This phenomenon can be manifested in clothes and transportation...









 or the absence of them...







Parking difficulties have always been closely linked with medicine...





Hippocrates is called the Father of Medicine.  He faced many challenges in Ancient Greece. 

For one thing, getting the snake on the caduceus was difficult... 








It is from Hippocrates that we get the Hypocritical Oath that all physicians must take.
