At the root of all the progress of modern civilization are all the wonderful discoveries of science. Science in the literal sense is special knowledge. And it is the work of science to unravel the mysteries of nature and make new discoveries in human welfare through this special practice of knowledge. At this stage of modern civilization, the triumph of science is everywhere in the daily life of the people. Science has brought about a radical change, especially in the field of medicine. With the blessings of science in medicine, people have been able to overcome many complex and incurable diseases.
★Science in medicine:
'Health is Wealth' means health is wealth. Because even if you have a lot of wealth, you can't be happy if you don't have good health. And we want better medical system to ensure good health. Science has assured people of good health through new discoveries in medicine. With the blessings of science, modern medicine has advanced to the extreme. The astonishing advances in medical science are constantly raising the standard of living.
★Ancient medical system:
In ancient times, people considered disease to be the curse of the Creator or the evil vision of supernatural forces. They did not know any way to get rid of the disease. As a result, primitive human beings would die indiscriminately due to diseases and accidents. Later, people started relying on herbs, amulets, watering cans, bushes, etc. to get rid of the disease. This unscientific medical system is collectively called Kabiraji medical system. The basis of this poetic medical system is religious belief, and superstition.
★Origin and development of modern medical system:
Unani medical system originated along with traditional medical system sometime before 7th century. Although it originated in Greece, Muslim physicians in Arabia have made significant contributions. In this case, the role of scholars like Ibn Sina, Al Razi is significant. Homeopathy, invented by Samuel Hahnemann, a physician of German descent, between 1810 and 1839, took modern medicine one step further. Above all, modern medical systems originated between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Basically modern medical methods rely entirely on science.
★Contribution of science to medicine:
Although it originated in the nineteenth century, most of the wonderful discoveries of science in medicine have been made in the twentieth century. Notable contributions to medical science include the discovery of the gonorrhea bacterium (1900), the collaborative heart-discovery (1906), cholesterol (1912), penicillin (1928), the discovery of plasma (1940), the kidney dialysis machine (1943), and DNA (1953). Pacemaker (1953) etc. In addition, the discovery of chloromycin, streptomycin, open heart surgery and bypass associated equipment is an important contribution to medical science. Crushing bladder and gallstones without surgery with the help of sound waves and light rays is an unimaginable achievement of science in the field of medicine. In addition to the discovery of the deadly disease AIDS (1974), the modern contact lens (1956), the first human birth of a human baby through a test tube in 1976 and the birth of a full-grown lamb with the help of a sheep's body cell in 1996 revolutionized the medical field. Even after all this, science has not stopped but has continued to make various discoveries in the field of medicine.
★Science in Diagnosis:
Science demands impeccable success in diagnosis. Diagnosis has become much easier with the discovery of instruments like dye, X-ray, ultrasonography, ECG, CT scan, laser, microscope etc. Ultrasonography can diagnose the condition of internal organs of the body including liver, kidney, gallbladder. Fiber optics can be used to diagnose the disease by observing the condition of the lungs, stomach, veins, arteries, large intestine, small intestine, etc. As a result of the groundbreaking changes in medical science, chronic diseases like cancer, tumors, etc. are being easily detected and it is becoming possible to provide the best possible treatment. Blood and urine tests are going to diagnose the disease immediately.
★Science in disease prevention:
With the help of science, various methods of disease prevention have also been discovered. The discovery of eight vaccines against polio, influenza, hepatitis-B, tuberculosis, measles, whooping cough, diphtheria and tetanus has significantly reduced infant mortality. In addition, the discovery of vaccines against smallpox, uterine cancer and other complex diseases has brought relief to the people. On the other hand, various maternal vaccines are helping to reduce maternal mortality and ensure safe motherhood.
★Science in Curing Diseases:
With the blessings of science in the field of medicine, people are getting rid of many incurable and complex diseases. Even radium, discovered by Professor Curie and Madame Curie, makes it possible to treat deadly diseases such as cancer. Thanks to the contribution of science, it is possible to give normal shape to people who have been burnt by fire or acid through plastic surgery. On the other hand, despite the loss of limbs in the accident, people no longer have to live a crippled life because with the blessings of science, the incredible work of adding artificial limbs to the human body has become possible. In the near future, no disease will be outside the scope of medical science.
★Science in the pharmaceutical industry:
Medicine is an essential part of medicine. Advances in science have led to the discovery of drugs such as penicillin. Science has also discovered various medicines for common ailments like fever, cough, cold, headache, gastric etc. Nowadays, the discovery of different types of drugs has opened new horizons in the field of medicine. As a result of the revolutionary changes in the discovery of medicine, many complex diseases are being cured only through medicine without surgery.
★The importance of science in medicine:
The contribution of science in medicine has played a much more important role in the progress of human civilization. Before the discovery of science in medicine, people used to die in diseases and accidents. Village after village would be devastated by the epidemic. The immense contribution of science in the field of medicine has saved people from untimely death; Gave a happy, prosperous, healthy life. And these physically healthy people are leading the country and the nation towards progress. Sick, infirm people are unable to give anything good to the nation.
In fact, the medical field today is completely dependent on science. The pursuit of human beings since ancient times to get rid of diseases and ailments has been successful with the help of science. People no longer accept untimely death due to disease, instead of treatment, but try to get rid of the disease with the help of science-based treatment. In fact, as a result of these advances in medical science, humans have conquered almost all diseases. In short, as in other fields, science has revolutionized medicine.
