Medical science is one of the most interested areas in history. The main reason for this is that it is directly related to human health. People have been involved in the treatment of diseases since ancient times. Physicians have produced works related to different fields of medicine. These works were sometimes related to drugs and sometimes in the surgical field. Written works illuminate the later years and are important sources for the works to be written later. When we look at the Ottoman period, we see that there are important developments in the field of medicine.
