Babylon and decentralized medicine
In Babylon, when someone fell ill, they were taken to the marketplace because there were no doctors available. People passing by would stop and offer advice based on their own experiences with similar illnesses. They would suggest remedies that had worked for them or for others they knew. It wasn’t allowed for anyone to pass by without asking about the illness and giving some advice. This communal approach ensured that medical knowledge was shared and accessible to everyone.

In 399 BC, Socrates was accused of corrupting the youth of Athens. His method of relentless questioning encouraged young people to challenge traditional beliefs and authority figures, which many saw as a threat to societal norms.
