If we want to tell the story of medicine, we'd better start at the beginning, which means we have to go all the way back to the beginning of recorded history. Since we started writing things down, we have been documenting our attempts to treat the disease. Almost every technique we used millennia ago is ridiculous by today's standards, but in a pre-scientific society, superstitions ruled. Let's take a look at some of the figures capable of taking the first significant steps toward legitimate medicine.
