what influences did Islam have on modern medicine?

Question

Islams contributions to medicine

Answer 1

The physicans of the medieval Islamic empires preserved the Greek medical texts and made advances of their own. They developed medical schools and hospitals, developed anathesia and surgical techniques, advanced knowledge of human anatomy and physiology, and discovered cures for some diseases.

Answer 2

Islam had none (it's a religion)... the Persians and Arabs of the middle east had some impact.. but it was the greeks that had the most impact by far... mostly due to the Romans using the Greek developed medicine on and off the battlefield, thus spreading it across the empire. The greeks as opened the first Medical schools (that I know of), they were the first to use sterilized instruments and to research the body in detail... it was also a Greek surgeon that made the connection of what would later become known as capillaries for blood flow.

Answer 3

Does ignorance have limits? These negative responses show the utter ignorance of these contributors. If they don't know about something, why they should talk?

Yes a lot of advances in Medicine are based on the achievements of Muslim scholars. The book "Al Qanoon" (The Canon or the law in Medicine) by Ibn Sina,a Muslim physician and philosopher was taught in Europe for Centuries. The Muslim physicians have made an unparalleled advance in this field, much more than the greeks for example.

Peace/salaam.

Answer 4

Absolutely no influences; if anything was different or new or anything it was seen as decadent, bad and worse.
