Аудиокнига: Нулевой пациент. О больных, благодаря которым гениальные врачи стали известными

Speaking about the history of medicine and discoveries that made it possible to successfully treat diseases, we always recall the names of genius doctors and scientists. But forget about those who made these discoveries possible. Luc Perino’s book is dedicated to patients whose cases moved medicine forward and made it what we know now. An interesting adventure awaits you, several centuries long, during which you will become an observer of the first experiments with anesthesia, vaccine trials, treatment of hysteria and other medical events. The author of Patient Zero talks about those people who patiently, in rural hospitals or at the receptions of medical practitioners, provided their bodies for research. Perhaps not all of them fully understood what contribution they made to the development of medicine, but it was their participation that made the treatment of many diseases effective and successful.
