Different technologies influenced medical development through time. For example writing that started with hieroglyphics in Ancient Egypt helped communication about theories and discoveries to be passed on and down through generations. Later on the printing press was invented in the Renaissance period, this enabled hundreds of identical copies to be printed and sent out to a wider audience. This meant monks did not have to write everything out separately. Gun powder was another technology that changed medicine; although it injured people this meant new injuries were being caused and therefore doctors could investigate and record different and new symptoms.

The writing press helped medicine progress as it helped spread all of the theories around the world so everyone can know. It also helped as books were printed and people could learn new remedies.

Writing helped medicine to progress to help communication; this helps future doctors to see other doctors theories and ideas so perhaps they would improve their theories to pass down through generations.

When the Egyptians developed writing, it allowed them to write down symptoms and cures of various illnesses. This enabled them to pass on information easily throughout Egypt.

Writing helped to improve medicine because doctors could write down and keep a record of there ideas and remedies. This helped other doctors to learn about new or old medicine. Also the printing press helped this even more because they was able to copy out there books and notes. This meant there ideas could be spread and learnt about on a huge scale.

Writing helped medical progress because Hippocrates invented writing down the symptoms, diagnosis and treatments for every illness he encountered, and as the Library of Alexandria stored many of Hippocrates books after his death, people could still read and learn from them.

When medical records were printed rather than hand copied, the information could spread between more people faster.

technology has had a great impact on the history of medicine because doctors/surgeons had to write down their method of how they done the surgery and helped their patients if they were ill. so we now have more ways of looking at new medicines. a few years later the printing press was invented and it was a printer so people could copy other peoples methods so they could be used in future and everyone could use them.

Writing helped the history of medicine progress as it made it easy to communicate new information with people meaning it could spread the medical knowledge further and doctor were able to use this knowledge quicker and heal patients a lot faster because the information would be with them quicker.

Technology has effected medicine over time and especially the Renaissance period, writing, printing press and Gunpowder, are aspects of technology. The Printing press allowed individual genius to expand their knowledge world wide; this enabled a larger amount of knowledge to average people to understand basic theory's of medicine. Gunpowder caused new injuries to soldiers in the army; which meant new cures had to be developed, this caused progression in medicine to understand huge open cut wounds. Ambroise Pare developed an even better method to treat gunshot wounds, using a mixture of egg yolks, oil of roses and turpentine because he ran out of hot oil, this was a great method and was an advancement of medicine. Finally writing developed the invention of symptoms and helped Hippocrates understand the four humours or Galen theory of opposites.

The Egyptians developed writing, so they could pass on treatments. This was effective, as doctors could write down their treatments and pass it down to new generations of doctors.

Writing helped progress the knowledge of medicine as the women healers/ wise women were skilled with herbal remedies; when they learnt how to write, they wrote the recipes down and carried the tradition down form mother to daughter. The printing press helped, as the physicians- such as: Vesalius, Harvey and Paracelsus could spread their ideas.

technology through time has proven very useful due to the amount of people that use it today. the Egyptians were the first to develop writing and paper making, their medicinal technique were more advanced as there were different ways such as the Ebers Papyrus technique( they managed to learn how to write). the printing press was invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the 1450's
