YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIf we are going to tell the story of medicine, we had better start at the beginning, which means we need to go all the way back to the start of recorded history. Ever since we've been writing things down, we've been documenting our attempts at treating illness.

Let's take a look at some of the figures who are able to make the first significant strides towards legitimate medicine.
