Medicine is the science or art of preventing and treating diseases. It was natural for man to develop the practice of medicine because it is natural for man to protect himself. Skeletons of men who lived before the time of written history seem to show that men tried to treat wounds and broken bones.
What they thought about the disease and its treatment is not certain. If they were like the primitive peoples today, they probably thought that disease was the result of witchcraft. It was something they did not understand, and therefore it frightened them. The main treatment for it was magic and superstition. These magicians and witch doctors were the ancestors of modern physicians, surgeons and psychiatrists.
The ancient Egyptians’ system of medicine made disease and its treatment more sensible. They were good observers and recorded what they saw. Medical schools were established and surgery, particularly eye surgery, was advanced. However, disease and its treatment were part of the ancient Egyptian religion. Prayers, charms and sacrifices to the gods were part of the treatment. The doctor was a doctor priest.
