WHAT IS IT ASKING YOU TO DO? The key to
answering this question is similar to a Part A
question- make sure you are explaining! Explainin
g is better than describing!

WHAT IS THE EXAMINER LOOKING FOR? An examiner
will award you full marks if you can pick just a
few reasons/examples and explain them well. Just
explain one example or factor well and you can
get 4, or even 5 marks! Take a look at the
example on the next slide.

Explain ways in which chance has had an impact on
the development of medicine. Chance had a
massive impact on the development of medicine
through time, as without meaning to, doctors and
scientists stumbled across some amazing medical
discoveries that advanced their understanding of
the body and of sickness. One way in which
chance had an impact on the development of
medicine was when Alexander Fleming discovered
Penicillin. Fleming was trying to find a cure for
blood poisoning. When Fleming had returned from
holiday, he found that mould had grown on the
cultures in some of the petri dishes in his
laboratory. One of these dishes no longer
contained the staphylococci cells, the mould had
killed them off. This led to his discovery of
Penicillin, and the worlds first antibiotic.
Fleming believed that the Penicillium had blown
in through an open window, which was none of his
doing. By forgetting to close the window before
he left, Fleming accidentally discovered
Penicillin. Another way in which chance had an
impact on the development of medicine is when
Ambroise Paré discovered a new treatment for
wounds. Paré was an army surgeon, who on treated
wounds on the battlefield by pouring hot oil on
them, causing the wounded soldiers much pain. By
chance, Paré ran out of this oil, and had to
think of a new way to treat the soldiers. He
remember a herbal treatment he had read about,
and quickly mixed together different ingredient
to make an ointment. He was very worried it would
not work, but when he returned to inspect the
patients, he discovered that the ones treated
with oil were still in pain, whilst the ones
treated with the ointment were healing nicely!
Paré never again used hot oil, and worked hard to
discover new methods for treating wounds. Had
Paré not ran out of oil, he may never of
discovered this. These two examples clearly show
the role that chance, or luck, played in the
development of medicine. Despite individuals best
efforts, chance is important because in all walks
of life, a little bit of luck can make the
difference between success and failure. Other
examples of the impact of chance include
Pasteurs successful use of the untested Rabies
vaccine, and the discovery of a chicken cholera
vaccine, as well as James Simpsons discovery of
chloroform as an anaesthetic.
Why does this answer get 7 out of 7?

WHY DOES THIS ANSWER GET 7 OUT OF 7? It has
taken two examples and tried to explain in detail
how chance played a role. Examiners will award
full marks for this, and even if they feel like
one of these is not explained fully, it gets 6
out of 7. By identifying other examples at the
end, the answer shows the examiner its wider
knowledge, causing the examiner to be very
impressed!
