- Plato’s Pharmacy provides a secondary source that is a historical perspective on how pharmacies and, to a larger extent, medicine were viewed during Plato’s time period. This can be used as a significant contrast from the modern views on medicine. The essay is a well-established, historically credible work that can reliably be used as a resource.

- This primary source journal article provides a case study of how urological anesthesia evolved over time. As with the Moynihan article, the historical evolution of this specific form of technology will provide an opportunity to examine anesthesia and understand how it reflects on medicine’s change over time. The journal’s reputation and the need for factual information rather than subjective analysis makes this source credible.

- The article was also published in a well-established medical journal and helps provide factual information on surgery’s development over time. This primary source can be used to analyze how surgery’s evolution reflects on improvements in technology over time and how medicinal philosophy fundamentally changed.
