Historical Evolution of Healthcare
1. Middle Ages:
- Healthcare roles included barber-surgeons who cut hair, treated cataracts, performed bloodletting,
extracted teeth, healed war wounds, amputated limbs, cauterized bleeds, and sold medicines.
2. Striped Pole:
, - Barber-surgeons would hang bandages on a pole outside their establishment after operations,
symbolizing their services (red for blood, white for bandages). The twirling bandages created a spiral
pattern.
3. Renaissance:
- The introduction of the scientific method allowed for knowledge acquisition based on observation
and evidence. Key inventions included the microscope, which facilitated the study of human anatomy.
4. Industrial Revolution:
- Marked by advancements including the understanding of capillaries, the invention of the
stethoscope, and recognition of the connection between health and environmental factors. Vaccinations
and sterilization practices were developed to prevent infections.
5. Modern Times:
- The patient-provider relationship evolved, with a shift in hospitals seen as institutions for healing
rather than dying. Advancements in engineering and technology led to breakthroughs like antibiotics, X-
rays, organ transplants, and in vitro fertilization.
6. War/Military Medicine:

health disparities such as traumatic brain injury and mental health issues.
7. Pandemics/Public Health:
