READ TO FIND OUT AT WHAT AGE IBN SINA BECAME A DOCTOR:
Ibn Sina (known to Europeans as Avicenna) was a scientist who was born about 980 AD in the north-eastern part of the
Abbasid Arab Empire. Ibn Sina was a very smart child, who memorized the whole Koran by the time he was seven
years old, in Arabic, which was not his first language.
Ibn Sina also wrote medical textbooks in Arabic, the most famous is The Canon of Medicine, بطلا نوناق
which doctors
used all over the Abbasid Arab Empire and all over Europe too all through the Middle Ages.
Ibn Sina may have been the first person to realize that you could catch diseases like measles or smallpox or
tuberculosis from other people (though he didn't know about germs, because there weren't any microscopes yet).
By the time Ibn Sina was eighteen, he was a successful doctor who treated many patients successfully.
Ibn-Sina introduced very advanced drug designing. Using Ibn-Sina's ideas help scientists to choose better drugs with a
historical background to reduce the cost of therapies and research projects.
