1. What can you learn from Source A about the work of Joseph Lister? (6 marks)Slide4
Makes no sense or is wrong.

If you ask ‘how do you know?’
A good, supported answer.
2 or more good, supported points.Slide5
Example 1
From Source A I can learn that Joseph Lister’s work was incredibly effective at reducing death rates during operations. I can also learn that he was scientific and logical. Slide6
Example 2
From Source A I can learn that between 1864 and 1866, only 35 people had operations, but between 1867 and 1870 40 people had operations with Joseph Lister. I can see that more patients recovered in the second set of operations. The reason the people died was probably because of the unhygienic conditions at that time because surgeons wore their own clothes which spread diseases easily. Source A can tell us a lot about the work of Joseph Lister.Slide7
Example 3
From Source A I can learn a number of things about Joseph Lister’s work. The first of these is that he was very thorough and logical, as the table shows that he has recorded information regarding the number of deaths and recoveries during each time period: before and after the introduction of carbolic acid to operations. Another thing I can learn about Joseph Lister’s work from Source A is that his use of carbolic spray helped to save many lives. The evidence for this can be found in the table, which shows that before the use of carbolic acid 16 patients died following amputations, as opposed to only 6 deaths after carbolic acid had been introduced to operations. This suggests that it was a successful antiseptic in stopping wounds from becoming infected.Slide8
Example 4
From Source A I can learn that the work of Joseph Lister in developing the use of carbolic spray to prevent infections during operations was very successful, as the table shows that the number of deaths dropped significantly from 16 out of 35 (almost 50%) to 6 out of 40 (around 15%). The carbolic spray was very important in the history of surgery as it used saved many lives.Slide9

What was the purpose of this representation? Explain your answer using Source B and your own knowledge
. (8)
Think about:
Style
– tone of language (informative, emotional?), or artistic technique (does the scene seem calm?)
Selection
– what content is or is not included? E.g. do they only talk about the negative side of anaesthetic, when you know there were positives?
Provenance
– the
background
to the source. E.g. who wrote it (do they have a motive to present it in some way?)? When was it written (do you know of something happening at this time that might explain its purpose?)?Slide13
Antiseptic Paper
Style – calm, professional image; ‘note the distance… and the position of’, ‘the surgeon should…’ – instructive tone.
Educational.
Selection – picture and text to show how carbolic spray should be used. Only positives, no limits.
Promotional
?Background – written by one of Lister’s assistants – has seen first hand the benefits and would want to show how to use it for best effects. 1882 – 17 years after introduction so not to promote as it was accepted into medical practice by this point. Therefore educational
rather than promotional.Slide14
Anaesthetic Paper
Style – emotive, dramatic, narrative language.
Selection – very negative language about the pain of operations before
anaesthetics. Remembering how bad operations were before anaesthetics.
Background
– written in 1896, 50 years after the discovery of ether. Not promotional because ether was accepted by this point, so celebrating the positive impact it has had. Anniversary celebration? Slide15
Blood Paper
Style – subtle persuasive language: ‘perhaps we should…’. A bit defensive to protect himself – not ‘I’ but ‘we’.
Selection – acknowledges problems but tries to brush over them with conditional language: ‘no clear evidence… might be a possibility’.
Background – written by Dr Blundell – who performed early blood transfusions. Some were unsuccessful as blood groups hadn’t been discovered. Trying
to persuade people it was beneficial
/ defend his work.Slide16

How reliable are Sources D and E as evidence of attitudes to the use of anaesthetics in the late 1840s?
Say something
reliable
about the:
CONTENT – the actual source and what it says (e.g. use of statistics, or knowledge you can back up with own knowledge)BACKGROUND – who wrote it/when/why/what it is, etc. (e.g. the author has used primary sources in their evidence, it is from a medical journal educating people rather than presenting opinion)
Say something
unreliable
about the:
BACKGROUND – e.g. the author has a motive to present the information in a certain way, or it was written early on during the time period and might not give a whole picture of developments…
CONTENT – e.g. incorrect information that you can challenge with own knowledge, or personal opinion presented as fact

Statistics

Reports on trials and results.
Acknowledges
why people would have doubted Lister and explains why.
Medical journal – should be educational and accurate

Unreliable
Reports
opinions.
Only includes negatives about the work and no successes.
Incorrect: ‘the antiseptic system is clearly not more successful than the use of ordinary methods’.
Focuses mainly on the negatives/opposition than the benefits.
1875, 14 years after germ theory and 10 years after carbolic spray. Early in Lister’s career – perhaps hadn’t seen the benefits yet so doesn’t give the full picture of ‘the success of Lister’s methods’.
Newspapers often exaggerate, especially just after a death – might talk up benefits, but actually quite reliable in this case.

Anaesthetic Paper
Content
Background
Reliable
Shows
both attitudes – ‘doctors were against the use of chloroform but I insisted on it.’
Nothing
Letter – if
private then probably honest. Charles Dickens = novelist – no motive to promote anaesthetic other than because he believes it to be good.
1849 – only 3 years after discovery so doctors’ reactions reflect concerns/opposition at the time among many groups.
Newspaper – reflects public attitudes at the time.
Un-reliable
Focuses
mainly on the positives and not the negatives, including dosage, blood loss, and infection.
Maybe a bit exaggerated? ‘reduced to nothing… miraculous and merciful.’
Mocking those who
emphasised
the miracles of ether. Not possible to remove someone’s head. No positive attitudes.
Letter/novelist – if public might be to persuade others but probably not.
Cartoon – exaggerated.
1847 – mocking ether – opposition common because it was new and hadn’t been refined/perfected yet.

Blood Paper
Content

Reliable
Very factual, not opinionated.
Tells the story of Landsteiner’s developments showing difficulties (‘received little attention until 1909’) and achievements without exaggeration.
Factual and scientific – the use of sodium citrate to stop clotting.
Speech about
his work in 1930 – able to look back with hindsight at the whole of his work.
Scientific journal – should be factual and accurate.
Almost 100 years later – hindsight to look back over developments.
Unreliable
Doesn’t directly acknowledge that there were successful blood transfusions between 1901 and 1909.
The ‘use’ didn’t develop with the ‘outbreak of the First World War’ because the first blood bank was at Cambrai in 1917.
‘New knowledge’ (1901)
Speech for Nobel Prize for Medicine – might be exaggerated to emphasise positives of his work, though actually reliable.
Nothing.
