The history of medicine remembers the names of all brilliant doctors and outstanding scientists who advanced the field, but almost always forgets about ordinary people who patiently offered their bodies for experimental treatment. Yet behind every medical discovery lies a real encounter between a talented doctor and that very 'zero patient' whose case led to a brilliant solution.
In his book, Luke Perino, a French epidemiologist and medical educator, tells the stories of important medical discoveries from the perspective of such patients.
- What is the connection between laughing gas, a fairground barker-swindler, and the invention of anesthesia?
- How did 'Typhoid Mary' become the world champion in quarantining all categories?
- What happened to the kind Phineas and how did his story influence the development of mood neurophysiology?
- What does Dr. Brock owe to his patient with the strange name Tan Tan?
You will embark on a fascinating journey spanning several centuries and discover a completely different history of medicine.
