Medical professionals were taught about different types of illnesses and its mechanisms. Learning the cause of each would greatly help in determining the treatment action plan and preventing worse conditions to happen. This is what is known as PATHOGENESIS. From the Greek words 'pathos' and 'genesis,' meaning the 'disease' and 'creation.' The new Latin word was first used in 1876. From then on, most medical practitioners believed that the path to health was focused on the disease itself, discovering its origins and determinants.
