Practitioners of orthodox medicine are sometimes referred to as allopathic practitioners. If that is not what you were meaning, please feel free to ask the question again and include more detail.
Some methods of controlling pathogens include disinfection, sterilization, proper hygiene practices, vaccination, antimicrobial treatments, and quarantine measures. It is important to use a combination of these methods to effectively control the spread of pathogens and prevent diseases.
Epidemiologists are responsible for identifying and tracking diseases in a population. They analyze data to understand patterns of disease occurrence and develop strategies to prevent or control the spread of diseases.
Medicine is a field that is deeply rooted in science, as it relies on scientific principles, research, and evidence-based practices to understand the human body, diagnose diseases, and develop treatments. The use of scientific methods and advancements in various scientific disciplines, such as biology, chemistry, and physics, form the basis of medical knowledge and innovation. Medicine continually benefits from scientific discoveries to improve patient care and outcomes.
The four types of pathogens that can cause diseases are viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. Each type of pathogen has unique characteristics and methods of causing illness in humans and other organisms.
Some diseases that existed in ancient times and still exist today include tuberculosis, malaria, leprosy, and influenza. These diseases have persisted over time due to factors such as genetic mutations, environmental conditions, and lack of effective prevention and treatment methods.

In the strictest terms, alternative medicine refers to medical practices, techniques and remedies that are not necessarily verified by neutral scientific research. Alternative medicine often depends on traditional methods and remedies that are not from or generally used within Western medical practices. They are not part of conventional, science-based Western medical practices, or taught in most medical schools. Alternative medicine may involve chiropractic, massage, acupuncture or other traditional Chinese remedies and practices, Ayurvedic medical techniques and methods derived from traditional Hindu practices, and a number of other methods. Nutritional additives and herbal remedies from a variety of cultures and traditions may be employed. The most common alternative medical practices in the U.S include traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, Ayurvedic medicine, homeopathy, and chiropractic medicine. Alternative medicine may be practiced as part of a holistic, or complementary medical practice that combines scientific Western medical practices, techniques, methods and theories with more traditional non-Western medical practices, methods, techniques and remedies. Increasingly, medical students in conventional M.D. programs are also studying alternative medicine and traditional practices as an adjunct to more conventional therapies, with particular emphasis on traditional Chinese medicine, and the closely related practice of acupuncture. Currently, conventional Western medical practitioners are increasingly incorporating alternative medicine as part of a holistic treatment regimen. That means there is a great deal of potential for careers in alternative medicine. This is an excellent time to start thinking about a career in alternative medicine and medical therapies. Education can prepare you for a career in acupuncture, a doctor of oriental medicine, or chiropractic medicine, and possibly working as part of a holistic medical team. Your local community college may very well have certificates and degree programs in oriental medicine, chiropractic therapy, acupuncture, or therapeutic massage, many of which only require a high school diploma or GED for enrollment in a program.

Research methods commonly used in medical anthropology include participant observation, interviews, surveys, focus groups, and ethnographic studies. These methods help researchers understand how culture, society, and environment influence health beliefs, practices, and behaviors among different populations. Additionally, medical anthropologists may also utilize quantitative data analysis and archival research to further investigate health issues.

Aunt Polly's use of old-fashioned home remedies and superstitions, like using purgatives for every ailment and believing in herbal charms, pokes fun at the superstitious and unscientific aspects of medical practices during her time. Her reliance on these methods often leads to comical outcomes in the story.
That's a physiotherapist.
