a key development in medicine during the french revolution?

Curing Black Plague?  Huh?  The French Revolution was in the 1780s, the Black Plague in the 1320s.  Why do some people feel qualified to answer questions who, apparently, have never opened a history book?\n\nAnyway, little developed if anything, apparently, other than a change in terminology with the revolutionaries trying for egalitarianism in everything.  If you want to call this "key" be my guest -- I'm sure the French think highly of it.\n\nThe real developments in medicine didn't occur until close to the end of the 19th century -- everything before that we would consider fairly barbaric.

There's a ton of stuff out there, chica. The Enlightenment was about science. If you look under Englightenment on the web, you will get all you can possibly handle. \n\nIn a nutshell, Enlightenment was a shift from purely religious thought and the confines of the church to a more scientific approach. Literature alone (and just in Europe) owes a great tribute to the era. Do some digging. I have researched this topic extensively in my undergrad and grad years, but I am in Japan (living and teaching) so do not have access to my files. \n\nWish I could help you more. Gambatte.

The French Revolution began in 1789 with the meeting of the States General in May and lasted until 1799.

It was used in medieval times as a pain reliever. There is no documented info as to who first discovered it.

The French Revolution (1789-1799) was a pivotal period in the history of France and Europe. During this time, republicanism replaced the absolute monarchy in France, and the country's Roman Catholic Church was forced to undergo a radical restructuring. While France would oscillate among republic, empire, and monarchy for 75 years after the First Republic fell to a coup d'état, the Revolution is widely seen as a major turning point in European history—from the age of absolutism, to the age of the citizenry, as the dominant political force.Visit Wikipedia for more information

The French Revolution (1789-1799) was a period in the history of France. During this time, republicanism replaced the absolute monarchy in France, and the French sector of the Roman Catholic Church was forced to undergo radical restructuring. While France would oscillate among republic, empire, and monarchy for 75 years after the First Republic fell to a coup d'état by Napoleon Bonaparte, the revolution nonetheless spelled a definitive end to the ancien régime. It eclipses the subsequent revolutions of 1830 and 1848 in the popular imagination. It is widely seen as a major turning point in continental European history, from the age of absolutism to that of the citizenry, and even of the masses, as the dominant political force.

maybe it has had more time to develop its ideas and ideals. it was one of the first colonies, and was the melting pot for the revolution

Industrial revolution led to capitalism and bourgeois society.  New class of Working people were getting developed. This contradiction led to many revolutionary activities and in the course idea of socialism and communism were born like a natural event.

Just like it did in the past. New medicines will be developed to cure illnesses, new things will be invented to do tasks that are difficult or dangerous to do and new data wil be added to our database. All this will cause new questions to be asked for the future's future ;)

From beginnings as remote and simple as these came the proud profession of Pharmacy. Its development parallels that of man. Ancient man learned from instinct, from observation of birds and beasts. Cool water, a leaf, dirt, or mud was his first soothing application. By trial, he learned which served him best. Eventually, he applied his knowledge for the benefit of others. Though the cavemen's methods were crude, many of today's medicines spring from sources as simple and elementary as those which were within reach of early man.\n\nBabylon, jewel of ancient Mesopotamia, often called the cradle of civilization, provides the earliest known record of practice of the art of the apothecary. Practitioners of healing of this era (about 2600 B.C.) were priest, pharmacist and physician, all in one. Medical texts on clay tablets record first the symptoms of illness, the prescription and directions for compounding, then an invocation to the gods. Ancient Babylonian methods find counterpart in today's modern pharmaceutical, medical, and spiritual care of the sick.\n\nChinese Pharmacy, according to legend, stems from Shen Nung (about 2000 B.C.), emperor who sought out and investigated the medicinal value of several hundred herbs. He reputed to have tested many of them on himself, and to have written the first Pen T-Sao, or native herbal, recording 365 drugs. Still worshiped by native Chinese drug guilds as their patron god, Shen Nung conceivably examined many herbs, barks, and roots brought in from the fields, swamps, and woods that are still recognized in Pharmacy today. In the background is the "Pa Kua," a mathematical design symbolizing creation and life. Medicinal plants include podophyllum, rhubarb, ginseng, stramonium, cinnamon bark, and, in the boy's hand, ma huang, or Ephedra.\n\nTheophrastus (about 300 B.C.), among the greatest early Greek philosophers and natural scientists, is called the "father of botany." His observations and writings dealing with the medical qualities and peculiarities of herbs are unusually accurate, even in the light of present knowledge. He lectured to groups of students who walked about with him, learning of nature by observing her treasurers at firsthand. In his hands he holds a branch of belladonna. Behind him are pomegranate blooms, senna, and manuscript scrolls. Slabs of ivory, coated with colored beeswax, served the students as "slates." Writing was cut into the surface with a stylus.\n\nMithridates VI, King of Pontus (about 100 B.C.), though he battled Rome for a lifetime, found time to make not only the art of poisoning, but also the art of preventing and counteracting poisoning, subjects of intensive study. Unhesitatingly, he used himself as well as his prisoners as "guinea pigs" on which to test poisons and antidotes. Behind him are rhizotomists, offering fresh, flowering aconite, ginger, and gentian. At lower right is a crater - a two-piece forerunner of the champagne bucket. His famed formula of alleged panantidotal powers, "Mithridatum," was popular for over a thousand years.\n\nOf the men of ancient times whose names are known and revered among both the professions of Pharmacy and Medicine, Galen, undoubtedly, is the foremost. Galen (130-200 A.D.) practiced and taught both Pharmacy and Medicine in Rome; his principles of preparing and compounding medicines ruled in the Western world for 1,500 years; and his name still is associated with that class of pharmaceuticals compounded by mechanical means - galenicals. He was the originator of the formula for a cold cream, essentially similar to that known today. Many procedures Galen originated have their counterparts in today's modern compounding laboratories.\n\nTwinship of the health professions, Pharmacy and Medicine, is nowhere more strikingly portrayed than by Damian, the apothecary, and Cosmas, the physician. Twin brothers of Arabian descent, and devout Christians, they offere

In the reign of Louis XVI, the growing discontent between the bourgeois and the nobility over issues of equality before the courts had grown acute and eventually led to the creation of the Third Estate and the French Revolution.\n\nWhile there was a body of laws in France at the time, the ruling class was able to prevail at will over the lesser classes and taxed almost everything (a man crossing a noble's estate and kicking up dust on the road was liable to pay a tax for the dust, for example). \n\nIn much the same way that John Locke created an idea that fired the American Revolution (that is the idea of a social contract between the governed and the governors), Rousseau argues that the social contract should be society-wide, from person to person.  Ergo, I am responsible to you, you are responsible to me, etc.  this would replace the idea of natural rights and right by birth.

Now if I was an ordinary person I'd most probably be unable to write anyway, but I would try to show how well our side was doing.\nTry to show that revolution would occur in all countries like France, as others followed the example set.\nShow how Napoleon was gradually conquering the world, well it doesn't have to be true does it, and make sure that Napoleon had a copy of it. Then he would give you more information, and most probably a decent meal.\nMention what a great thing it was to drive on the right.\nEnclose a charter for all good citizens of the revolution to follow.

Check in some books on the French Revolution, and you will see how one is constructed. They are not difficult to build for a model as a school,project. Good luck.\n\nChow!!
