My mother and grandmother were both nurses: and the idea of how hospitals evolved interested me.

Evaluate the article
The is a lack of focus on medical history outside of Europe until the 18-19th century, when European influence became prevalent in Asia. The idea that there were no hospitals or something akin to one in Asia until the 1800s seems to be a gap in the history to me. The mention of Ancient Greek and Roman hospitals but calling them not hospitals would imply a further conversation on ideas that would be similar to hospitals or an explanation as to why they weren’t there.

the intro has a gap in time in the lead from 16th century to 20th century where nothing is talked about for the hospitals.

under the 19th century tab: short description of Protestant and catholic hospitals, and only a paragraph on Chinese hospitals.

The article seems to take a very European and religious tone: as many hospitals were based originally out of religion. However this time remains prevalent through the entire article even past religion moving into a more secular field.

A wide variety of sources is used: but the main topics and point are not. Very focused on European hospitals.
