they didnt.

cures were often “we did something, the patient didnt die, eventually they got better (on their own), we cured them” if the same symptoms were treated the same way with the same results it was accepted.

if a different doctor tried a different treatment and got results faster or more reliably, then that cure would be used more

in 1000 years time, all of our medicine might look silly to the citizens of the future
