Introduction
The interlacing events of the medical technology of the past and the
advancements in science and technology up to the present day have
brought about remarkable changes in laboratory medicine services. With
the conceptualization of medical technology as an application of
science and technology, the scope of this subject has increased
tremendously to include a wide range of services and applications.
Medical technology has contributed significantly toward enhancing the
field of medicine and science. This module deals with the basic
concepts of medical technology including its history, nature, and
scope.

History of Medical Technology Profession

???
Clinical laboratory science
Another term for medical technology

Medical Technology
It is a branch of laboratory medicine that deals with the diagnostic or
therapeutic applications of science and technology.

According to Ruth Heinemann,

"It is the application of principles of natural, physical, and
biological sciences to the performance of laboratory procedures which
aid in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases."

According to Anne Fagelson,

"It is a branch of medicine concerned with the performance of
laboratory determinations and analyses used in the diagnosis and
treatment of the disease and the maintenance of health."

According to Walters,
"It is a health profession concerned with performing laboratory
analyses in view of obtaining information necessary in the diagnosis
and treatment of disease as well as the maintenance of good health."

Republic Act No. 5527 (also known as the Philippine Medical Technology Act of 1969)
stated that
"It is an auxiliary branch of medicine which deals with the examination
by various chemical, microscopic, bacteriologic, and other medical
laboratory procedures or technique which will aid the physician in the
diagnosis, study, treatment, of disease and in the promotion of health
in general."

Vivian Herrick
⎯ Traces the beginning of Medical technology in 1500 BC; Taenia and
Ascaris parasites were mentioned in early writings:
Worms of pork/ pork tapeworm: Taenia solium
Worms of beef/ beef tapeworm: Taenia saginata

Ascaris lumbricoides or Taenia species or

Giant Intestinal roundworm Tapeworm

Ebers Papyrus
⎯ also known as Papyrus Ebers, is an Egyptian medical papyrus of 110-page
scroll, about 20 meters long, and of herbal knowledge dating to circa
1550 BC
⎯ It is written in hieratic Egyptian writing and represents the most
extensive and best-preserved record of ancient Egyptian medicine known.
⎯ It is a book for treatment of diseases which contains the description
of the three stages of hookworm infection and the disease it could
produce to human.
⎯ The source of the papyrus is unknown, but it was said to have been
found between the legs of a mummy in the El-Assasif district of the
Theban necropolis.
⎯ The papyrus remained in the collection of Edwin Smith until at least
1869 when there appeared, in the catalog of an antiquities dealer, an
advertisement for “a large medical papyrus in the possession of Edwin
Smith, an American farmer of Luxor.”
⎯ The Papyrus was purchased in 1872 by the German Egyptologist and
novelist Georg Ebers (born in Berlin, 1837), after whom it is named.

Ruth Williams
⎯ Wrote "An Introduction to the Profession of Medical Technology"
⎯ Believes that medical technology began from the medieval period (1096-
1438) as supported by the fact that urinalysis was a fad
⎯ Early Hindu physicians made the scientific observation that urine of
certain individuals attract ants, and recorded that such urine has a
sweetish taste
⎯ Quacks, calling themselves doctors reaped fortunes from diagnosing
diseases by the appearance of the urine
⎯ Urinalysis thus, was regarded as the oldest laboratory procedure

Anne Fagelson
⎯ Believe that medical technology started from the 14th century when a
prominent Italian doctor at the University of Bologna employed
Alessandra Giliani to perform different tasks in the laboratory.
Unfortunately, Alessandra Giliani, a young lady died due to a
laboratory acquired infection.

Hippocrates
⎯ Father of Medicine
⎯ Greek, physician who described the four "humors" or
body fluids in man which include Phlegm, Blood, Yellow
Bile, Black Bile
⎯ The four humors were felt to be the source of a
person's disposition and disease in ancient times
⎯ In 460 BC, he formulated the famous Hippocratic Oath
⎯ The Hippocratic Oath is an oath historically taken by
physicians, physician's assistants' and other
healthcare professionals swearing to practice medicine
ethically and honestly; The code of ethics for
practicing physicians

600 BC
⎯ Polyuria of diabetes was noted

Pope Innocent VIII
⎯ First unlucky recipient of unsuccessful attempts in blood transfusion
practices
Story Behind…
In July 1492 Innocent fell into
a fever. He was said to have
been given the world's
first blood transfusion by his
Jewish physician Giacomo di San
Genesio, who had him drink the
blood of three 10-year-old
boys. The boys subsequently
died. The evidence for this
story, however, is unreliable
and may have been motivated by
anti-semitism. Innocent VIII
died himself on the 25th of
July.

William Harvey
⎯ Discovered blood circulation

Richard Lower
⎯ First physician to perform direct blood transfusion. Animal to animal

Jean-Baptiste Denys
⎯ Performed the first fully documented human blood transfusion. Animal to
human
Story Behind…
Denys administered the first fully
documented human blood transfusion on
June 15, 1667. He transfused about
twelve ounces of sheep blood into a 15-
year-old boy, who had been bled
with leeches 20 times. The boy survived
the transfusion. Denys performed
another transfusion into a labourer,
who also survived. Both instances were
likely due to the small amount of blood
that was actually transfused into these
people, which allowed them to withstand
the allergic reaction. Denys' third
patient to undergo a blood transfusion
was Swedish Baron Gustaf Bonde. He
received two transfusions, and died
after the second. In the winter of
1667, Denys administered transfusions
of calf's blood to Antoine Mauroy, a madman. Mauroy died during the
third transfusion. Much controversy surrounded his death. Mauroy's wife
asserted Denys was responsible for her husband's death, and Denys was
charged with murder. He was acquitted, and Mauroy's wife was accused of
causing his death. After the trial, Denys quit the practice of
medicine. It was later determined that Mauroy actually died
from arsenic poisoning. Denys' experiments with animal blood provoked a
heated controversy in France, and in 1670 the procedure was banned. It
wasn't until after Karl Landsteiner's discovery of the four blood
groups in 1902 that blood transfusions became safe and reliable.

During World War 2, Philippines was seriously affected. Japan conquered the
entire Philippines, causing the wrath of the United States to flare up.

⎯ Pearl Harbor was invaded by Japan. Three days later, Japan invaded the
Philippines causing wrath of the US to flare up.

1944

team to the Philippines to resolve the health problems of soldiers and
Filipinos.

January 9, 1945
⎯ 850 US ships of the 6th US Army began a roundabout Lingayen Gulf
attempting to mislead the Japanese. Manila was taken and Corregidor was

1947
⎯ Training program was reorganized by Dr. Pio de Roda, Dr. Mariano
Icasiano, and Dr. Prudencio Sta. Ana
⎯ High school graduates and paramedical graduates were trained to work as
medical technicians. The training proved to be ineffective because the
trainees were never motivated and there was no program that was
supposed to last for a set period of time and no certificates were
issued to the trainees.

1954
⎯ Because trainees were not motivated, Dr. Pio de Roda instructed Dr.
Prudencio Sta. Ana to prepare a formal syllabus of the training program

long because during that same year, the formal education of Medical
Technology in the Philippines began.
