What is on Paper 1 OCR GCSE history?

I thought it was the American West and Medicine ( just up to the Renaissance) but now I've heard we need to know about surgery or something? I'm not sure what I need to revise now!!! please help

Hey, I'm doing the Medicine paper tomorrow as well...
There are 3 sections: "Public Health", "Disease and Infection" and "Surgery and Anatomy". You get to choose between questions 2 and 3 for Section B and questions 4 and 5 for Section C

As per the time periods, we had to learn from prehistory (things like Trepanning, which comes under surgery) all the way up to Modern times (1900-Present). I've never seen a question paper not include the Industrial Revolution or the Modern Times. So, I don't know why you didn't come up with this question a while ago.
LOL. You're ****ed as well as me! :smile:
I have no idea what anything is. Were doing the same topics though!
*SIGH* Hope I get a C tomorrow! xD

I'm confused! As far as I'm aware, there are two papers, right?
The first one is on American West and Medicine - from prehistoric to the Renaissance
and then paper 2 is on public health 19/20th century
