believes that MT began from the Medieval Period as supported by the fact that urinalysis (the oldest laboratory procedure”) was a fad

Hindu physician recorded the sweet taste of diabetic urine
600 BC
that the urine in diabetes had a taste similar to honey.
1674
reaped fortunes from diagnosing diseases by the appearance for the urine
Quacks
prefers to date MT from 14th century
14th century Anne Fagelson
a prominent Italian physician, Mondino de’ Liuzzi at the University of Bologna employed
one Allesandra Giliani to perform certain tasks now under the domain of the medical
technology profession. Unfortunately, this young lady died from a laboratory acquired
infection
14th century Anne Fagelson

the suggestion of a physician.
