Emirate of Cordoba (Age of Charlemagne) Civil Tier 9

Medicine

Advances in the field of medicine during the Islamic age were profound, built as they were upon the already significant steps taken by the Sassanid Persians before them. Expanding on the work of the Academy of Gondishapur (regarded b by many as the world's first hospital), the Umayyads developed what were known as 'bimaristan', or 'houses of the sick', where the sick were treated and looked after. Throughout the Middle Ages, there were further developments (although erratic) in the field of drugs, with the painkilling properties of both poppies and hemp becoming widely known. Many physicians also attempted surgery, despite the extremely low success rate, as even if the patient died there was much to be learned from failure!
