What they did was to make a story(theory) to explain a incident that they observed.. As long as those theories can explain our observations scientists will use them...But as the world develops some day there will be new observations which cannot be explained by the remaining theories...then the scientists will make a new story(theory) to explain them. For example... movements of small particles could not be explained by Newtonian physics and scientists introduced Quantum physics to describe them. The history of science is full of these theories....All of them were correct at their time..... If you did Chemistry for A/Ls you know that there was a concept call plum pudding to describe the atoms....We all know how ridiculous this is but those days this was considered the truth because it was sufficient enough to describe the observations of chemists, ........  There are tons of examples like this....I don't know much stories on medicine since I'm a maths guy....Knowledge is relative to time...Says Prof. Nalin De Silva.... We can only say that this theory was correct in it's days....We cannot say any theory will be correct forever......So what we should do is to find out whether these theories are sufficient enough to explain our observations, if not introduce another theory without checking whether these theories are correct or not......Because Theories are just stories to explain the behavior of universe....It's not correct that things happen according to the theories....But Theories are introduced to explain the observations of man....</blockquote>
