Medical knowledge saves people's lives and improves their quality of life.
If you're not healthy, medical treatments can usually make you more comfortable and sometimes offer a complete cure. In this e-source, we will look at the ways that medicine has changed over the centuries and the effects that it has had on disease. We will also look at how medicines are made and how they can be abused and we will consider what the future might hold. There are six main topic areas. You can link to the first page of each one from the navigation block at the bottom of every page.
