    2. What are factors? Factors are the causes that have made things happen in the history of medicine. They are different influences on the development of medicine. Each factor plays an important role in medicines changes over time. Factors can help or hinder change.

    3. How do factors work? Almost always the factors work together to produce or prevent development in medicine. Although we will examine them separately remember that it would be very unusual for a single factor to alter the history of medicine.

    4. How do we examine factors? Identify the factors - see how they worked together - examine which was most important, if any. For example - Penicillin

    12. Other Factors Communications - new methods of sharing ideas, and of stopping ideas! Science and Technology - new poor technology prevents advances, new machines, such as microscopes help it Conservatism - the desire for no change can stop good ideas from spreading

    13. Factors Factors are essential - without them nothing would happen. All the factors play a role in medicine, helping and hindering.
