History of Medicine Part 2

Sigh. No. Lime juice does treat scurvy which is caused by a lack of vitamin C. This was a problem for sailors on sailing ships - not submarines. The issue with lack of sunlight is that it keeps your body from creating vitamin D - which can cause rickets. Rickets was an issue with some sailors but scurvy was much, much more of an issue.

Submarines in the 18th century???

[@tlamelomatlala3398]

What kind of question is that?!

[@Faith-Ireland]

The first submarine was actually built in the late 17th century (1776) during the Revolutionary War.

The Arab physician Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi (936-1013) wrote Al-Tasrif (The Method of Medicine), a 30-part medical encyclopedia in Arabic. In the encyclopedia, he introduced his collection of over 200 surgical instruments, many of which were never used before.[4] Some of his works included being the first to describe and prove the hereditary pattern behind hemophilia, as well as describing ectopic pregnancy and stone babies.[5] He has been called the "father of surgery".[6][7]

These videos are as if a highschool student had to record herself for a school assignement, realizing how often she messes up talking and like she doesn't even know anything she is talking about...
