HCA 205 Revolutionary Influences
One thing that had an influencing factor was Penicillian, which was discovered Penicillin was discovered in 1928 (our timeline say the 1920’s) by Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming. Unforntley was not used until 1942 to treat infections (our timeline say’s 1940’s). In World War One soldiers often died due to infection from mud and filth trenches, and surgeons not sterilize equipment. There were 2 million deaths and 6 million people went missing during the war and were presumed dead. Thankful In 1943 the US War Production Board came up with a plan for the mass distribution of penicillin to Allied troops fighting in Europe. By 1944, the US had produced 2.3 million doses and the medicine is credited with saving an estimated 12 to 15 percent of
casualties. This sentence came from this story I found very touching https://ww2technology.weebly.com/penicillin.htmlLinks to an external site.. Penicillian was used to treat mean illiness that were consired to have a high mortialty rate. After the penicillian the mortialty rate dropped!

The discovery of Penicillin was a huge changing point in healthcare. It afforded medical providers the ability to cure infections and se the science behind the discovery to create new more powerful treatments. As for patients, the mild comfort in knowing that an infection was not almost certain death anymore was a relief. Sadly the 20 plus years of development and refining before becoming common in medical use hurt America especially since the great depression falls right in the middle of that timeline.

The influencing timeline I am going to discuss is the funding of the American Medical Association. Before the existence of AMA, medicine in the U.S. had basically almost no rules. Doctors had almost no rules and regulations on how to perform their jobs until 1847 when the AMA was founded with the goal of protecting the interest of American physicians, promoting public health, and supporting the growth of medical science.
The AMA has impacted the system in different ways; first of all, it set a standard for the medical education in the United States and established some rules and regulations in the health care system. Because of the AMA, doctors started to understand that everyone has to perform only within his scoop of practice otherwise, there will be some consequences.
I think the AMA transformed the system by establishing board exams with the goal to eliminate medical malpractice and educate people about the different risks caused by medical malpractices. The goal of AMA here is to make sure that everyone living in the United States and that goes to the hospital without worrying about the possibilities of being a victim of a medical error. So, everyone (Physicians and patients) benefits from this change initiated by the AMA. The AMA also changed the system by influencing the legislation for the benefit of providers by raising their salaries and by helping patients get access to affordable health care. The AMA also helps medical schools and students by providing them with the necessary tools to continue researches and to meet the medical standard needed to become a physician.
