520 In this book, the author tells the hidden stories of
history's most amazing medical discoveries. This isn't dry
history: these are life and death mysteries uncovered,
tales of passionate, often mocked individuals who stood
their ground and were proven right; they include a
colorful cast of characters whose discoveries were often
driven not only by personal tragedy, curiosity, and hard
work, but also petty bickering, dumb luck, and a healthy
dose of humor. From germs to genetics, the ancient
Hippocrates to the cutting edge, these are events that
have changed the world, and saved lives. He discusses ten
world changing revolutions in medicine and the human
discoveries that made them possible, the stories behind
antibiotics, vaccines, DNA, X-rays, and more. He relates
what happened, how it happened, and what it means today.
Revolutionary medical breakthroughs like these haven't
just changed the way we treat disease, they have
transformed how we understand ourselves and the world we
live in.
