In order to secure your target grade you should a think about a few things when you are writing an answer (either here, in your folder or in an exam!): Make sure you are clear about the point that you are trying to make - for example: where you are discussing trephinning I think you should make it clear that prehistoric man would have thought that severe headaches were in fact caused by evil spirits, you mention this but you do not make the link clear. You should also think about how you organise your points for example you correctly identified how embalming helped Egyptian doctors learn a little about anatomy and how they were prevented from learning more because dissection was banned: BUT : you didn't link both these points together and mention that religion (factors) both helped and hindered medicine in ancient Eqypt... Overall a really good first blog post and I'm looking forward to many more.
