Medicine Through Time: video questions x 5

Five outstanding films, remarkable in their originality, scholarship and… fun! Historical change is shown to be unpredictable, lurching, beset by human follies: greed, law, religion, pride, prejudice. Clichés of narrative history are debunked, Whig and “Great Man” bubbles are burst.

Anaesthesia
Lister’s antisepsis
The Four Humours
London’s Great Stink
and Snow’s Epidemiology

are given forensic scrutiny. Films are between ten and thirty minutes long. Questions have been written and edited so as not to intrude, and to provide useful notes after the event. All have one-word answers to go in the space on the sheet. Approx. 1 – 2 questions per minute.

Differentiated! Both versions of questions for each film look very similar, but “B” version has subtle clues. Answer sheet. Questions right up to the end, no slack time! .doc and .pdf of all sheets, link to video on all sheets. Very easy to mark.

Please check that you can access the video before you download these sheets. All the links work when I upload. If my links no longer work, the videos may still be found elsewhere on YouTube.
