00:00The main objective of this work is to simplify this concept.
00:12In the sense, I can better explain the history of medicine,
00:16to be able to know it, it would take dozens and dozens of volumes.
00:21The most complicated and complex part was to create a synthesis,
00:26of the most important concepts and concepts that the student of medicine,
00:30and not only, can attract and catalyze his attention.
00:34So, from Ancient Egypt, because I think it is an extremely state people,
00:40an extremely intelligent people, that from there started a series of ideas
00:45like specializations. It was the first historical people
00:49where they already had the first medical specializations,
00:52up to the present times.
00:55Consequently, skipping, not because they are less important,
00:58the various Greek philosophers, who had a somewhat abstract concept,
01:01where the concept of nosos, of disease, was not talked about much,
01:05and it was talked about something else.
01:07So, I tried to create, how to say, this connubium,
01:11and to simplify those that were the most important passages
01:15and that led us to what is today's medicine.
01:18This is a text that can be easily opened even to non-workers.
01:23So, consequently, to be able to make it readable,
01:28the student must have a perception of knowledge
01:32and understand what were the rising periods.
01:35So, I must say that what I was able to perceive,
01:38also because we started just yesterday the lessons of history of medicine,
01:42they appreciated a lot the understanding, in summary,
01:47the rising points of what was the first approach of medicine.
