Most sociologists accept that most of what we now recognize as medicine is a consequence of developments in Western society over the past three centuries. Sociologists would include all of the following items among these developments:
a. a trend toward seeing the origins and treatments of disease as physical and explicable in scientific terms
b. the acceptance of the hospital as the setting within which to treat serious illnesses
c. the development of the medical profession as a body with codes of ethics and significant social power
d. the requirement that medical training be systematic and long term

This question has no answer, as it explains the DEVELOPMENTS IN MEDICINE IN WESTERN SOCIETY OVER THE PAST THREE CENTURIES or safe to say this isn't exactly a question, rather it is a list of statements Sociologists are likely to develop in reference to the development of medicine in the western culture.

With this definition of Sociologist and Sociology, we can deduce that the listed statement;

(a. a trend toward seeing the origins and treatments of disease as physical and explicable in scientific terms

b. the acceptance of the hospital as the setting within which to treat serious illnesses

c. the development of the medical profession as a body with codes of ethics and significant social power
