Expanding on topics covered in class

My reaction to the topic of health in Germany was not so different to that of other countries. In earlier Germany, some of the topics covered within health caused a different reaction. Health all over at the earlier time periods were some what barbaric, hearing them expanded on made it even more clear just how much so. The difference of how they their health care system set up in Germany is very interesting as well.
In the earlier times of Germany many discoveries were made. One important one that was covered was that of the discovery of blood circulation. This was founded by William Harvey, who the presenters said stuck himself with needles to study the circulation. He was presumed the first to study biology as well.
Also in the earlier times of Germany, universal health care was introduced. Which is something that here in America people are arguing over in our time. The fact of universal health care is one of the major topics that is happing in debates in the States. People are calling it socialism, which to some in America it is a way of socialism, though not all agree. So to see this topic happen so long ago in another country and have it practically still in place is a wonder.
The 20th century though is where some of the most intriguing yet horrible discoveries. The 20th century like all should know was home to the error of the Nazi. Who during their "rein" "tested"(killed) drugs on Jews. They also created med/chemical that was dangerous to kill the Jews.  The fact that they used human beings to test drugs that they created was barbaric, as well as creating drugs/chemicals just for the purpose of killing the Jews was horrific. The Nazi also created a drug that they were planning on using for creating the "perfect solider", a drug that was cocaine based and made them into mindless soldiers. They also tested this drug, D-IX on the Jews as well.
During this same time period though, one of the most famous drugs was created, Bayer. Bayer is an aspirin we still see on the shelves of pharmacies, drugstore, grocery store, and more today. Bayer was developed in Barmen Germany in 1863.
They olympics at this time were highly dominated by East Germans who were taking steroids  Almost all who won at this time period, where "doping". Eleven out of thirteen medals were won because of steroids. This is just crazy, for now days all athletes are tested all the time for such things. If an athlete today was caught with steroids in his or her system today any title they won would most likely be taken away.
