Most medical practice and knowledge of the time was based on the works of Galen and Hippocrates, who had lived over a thousand years earlier. Their writings of observational medicine were very accurate at the time but by the medieval period, most of their observational practices had been lost and so rendered their medical writings pretty much irrelevant. However this was not realised at the time and so their writings were treated as a medical rule.1 Quite simply it was believed generally by physicians and teachers at the time that Galen's theory of the 4 humours could not be improved upon.2 At the time their was no understanding of the existence of bacteria and the need for sterilisation of medical equipment. This unfortunately lead to many people being in a worse physical state
