Industrial Ages 1750-1900 - Coggle Diagram
Industrial Ages 1750-1900
Government
Laissez Faire Government. The rich believed that they only paid the taxes to help the poor, and they didn't want to waste their money on idle people. In 1854, a newspaper said that they would take their chances with cholera, rather than be protected by the government
Good Points
People might become dependant, and the government can't carelessly discard of money
Bad Points
Some people are too poor for health care without the benefits, as they are disabled, not all people take advantage, and there would be unnecessary deaths.
The government don't seem matriarchal and patriachal.
We see the consequence in the Boer War in 1906 when the soldiers weren't physically fit, and we were defeated
If the government don't care about people's health it is hard to increase the life expectancy, and predict pandemics.
If you have more sick people, less people can work, and then the government couldn't successfully run their country.
John Chadwick
He was secretary of the Poor Law Commisions, and he linked poor health and deprivation. He believed in clean drainage, and miasma. He was seen as rude, so wasn't appreciated.
Luck
John Snow, and the link between cholera and dirty water. He happened to notice deaths were concentrated around one water pump, and when he took this out, the deaths were decreased, it might not have worked if the other water pipes were infected- this also helped to prove Germ Theory
1879 Pasteur accidently discovered that vaccines
1881 attenuated antharak vaccine in sheep
1886 the vaccine for rabies, year later was used in humans, it allowed some of the most deadly diseases to be attenuated.
Edward Jenner 1769
Religion
Science and technology
Germ Theory
Koch
Pasteur
John Snow
Before this, spontaneous Generation was believed
Antiseptics were used to kill the diseases after Alexander Gordon suggested women who gave birth in dirty conditions were more likely to get infected, 1795, this is before Germ Theory.
War
The Franco - Prussian war in 1871 led to conflicts between Koch and Pasteur
Individuals
Koch
He carried on the work of Pasteur, rivalry helped it to be discovered quicker
He found out a way to stain bacteria so that he could see it under the microscope, that was invented in 1677
In 1884 he discovered bacteria caused cholera
Bacteriology, linked the Germ Theory to humans
Anthrax, cholera, TB, septicaemia 1876-1883
Diphtheria, tetanus and pneumonia from 1880-1890
Pasteur
He discovered Germ Theory in 1860
Developed the idea of pasteurisation to stop things rotting, and was famous to his vaccines
In 1857, he carried out the experiment that if the lid was closed, no dirt and disease could get in, but if it was open, the beat went mouldy, suggesting there were Germs in the air.
Bastian still believed in spontaneous generation, and as he was reputable, people believed him. Also most of Pasteur's work focused on liquids, and people didn't see the connection to humans.
James Simson invented chloroform in 1847, this was a form of anaesthetic that helped make childbirth less painful, it was originally opposed, as too high doses killed the patients, however, people believed in it more when Queen Victoria took it in 1853
Bad Points
In 1848 Hannah Greener had an overdose
It allowed longer and more risky surgery to take place. It had no ether.
People didn't have enough experience, so it was risky
Good Points
Longer and more complex surgery could be carried out
Humphrey Davis discovered laughing gas in 1799, however it didn't work on everybody, and was used in too high doses, here, science hinders medicine
Edward Jenner
Communication
Because of the printing press, Pasteur and Koch could here each others ideas, and help the Germ Theory to progress quickly.
John Tyndall taught Germ Theory in the UK
