4000 Years of History of Philosophy and Principles of Medicine Towards Lyfas Modern Greek Medicine

Modern Western Medicine and England

Even though French, Russian, Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese spread their imperialism across the globe starting from the 1492 expedition of Vasco da Gama, European Monarchs were following the Christianity of the Eastern Orthodox Church, which was more or less on Greek Philosophy, and thus were not as vigorous documents as the Romans. Long back in 122 AD, when Roman emperor Hadrian conquered Britain, he established Roman administration and schooling in Britain. The first modern-day school was established in Kent, Britain on and around 400 AD.

Thereafter Britain followed the Roman Catholic Church, like Spain. Even though in the early 16th century Britain established a protestant version of Christianity, for 1500 years they had continued with the culture of Roman documentation.

When British Raj finally reached Africa in 1886, they discovered the ancient Sudanese medicine of Antibiotics. During the first world war, which was to be taken place in another 20 years, Britishers came close to Italy. Almost 400 years prior to that in the 16th Century, Oxford and Cambridge, two British universities collaborated extensively with Bologna. Therefore from the very beginning, Greek Philosophy, Bologna Codification+Etruscanian Documentation has been a hallmark of British progress.

It was during the first world war that medicine, as we know it today, got developed because there were too many numbers of wounded soldiers, and healthcare had to be massively scaled.

British Bangladesh and Fusion of Indo-Buddhist Chinese Medicine and Industrial Scale

China and India always had large populations. However, unlike India, Mainland China is surrounded by a large number of terrains unsuitable for agriculture. Therefore, China had to invent from the beginning and produce things at scale. Many modern-day machines like currency, printing, and the compass are Chinese inventions. By the 16th century, Dhaka, the current capital of Bangladesh was one of the modern Global industrial economies.

Dhaka was far away from India and had suffered much lesser attacks by outsiders than mainland India suffered. Therefore Dhaka was a rather peaceful center where Chinese industrialization prospered, largely due to massive unrest in mainland China with their continuous conflict with the Japanese and Koreans. Though Britain conquered China, Chinese culture and language were much beyond British brains.

On the other hand, India already had Greek influence since 323 BCE, and therefore English was no foreign language for the Indians, and Bengalis in particular adopted English almost as their mother tongue.

Bengali intellectuals’ fast adaptation of English, enabled the Britishers to understand the Dhaka industrial region and Dhaka global economy. Britishers dismantled all the mills of Dhaka and took the machinery to Machester. The industrial revolution in Manchester started Engineering as an independent branch in England. Interestingly Engineering was nothing but opening Indo-Chinese machinery and then documenting them. You can say engineering was essentially reverse engineering. Britain killed Dhaka to build Manchester. Dhaka was also the hub of Chinese medicine such as acupressure and acupuncture.

These were of not much interest to the Britishers. However, when Britishers observed the efficiency of trauma and wound treatment by the Japanese, where surgery was a large and essential component, systematic surgery got evolved.

Americanisation of Western Medicine

Native Brish citizens were infected by Roman material culture and the hardworking Anglo-Saxons were now Beurocrats and Rich thanks to plunders around the globe. British knew how to take an idea and scale, but they did not have the ability anymore to produce without the slaves. African slave trade not only enriched the British but also drove their 1750 industrial revolution, which later continued even during the Victorian era post-1820. Africa was becoming a hard market for slaves due to competition against the other European monarchs.

When Britishers America, it was a gold mine for the Britishers. Noncorrupted hardworking natives, still a virgin mainland. America was to become new England even after its independence in 1776. You can drive people away, not the idea. And thus American dream was created. The American dream was simply showing big dreams to natives, and keeping economic control to British masters.

During the second world war, new England(read America), and the old Romans(read England) collaborated against new Athens(read Berlin), which dated Romans, but married Greek culture. After this combination, western medicine was scaled.
