Abstract

As the curtains lift for the next act of this drama on Medical History. we now find the stage dominated by a
multitude of characters consisting of clergymen. scholars and doctors. as well as some pestilent epidemics. who steal the show as veritable villains. The Middle Ages. which span a period of a thousand years from 500 to 1500 AD. were so inert. there were no noteworthy advances in medicine during this period.
