Doctors and patients who have changed the world. Yumakaeva D.M.

The history of medicine is, in fact, the history of all mankind. This book contains the stories of desperate pioneers, brave professionals and real masters of their craft. Pirogov’s ice cuts, “walking stem” of Filatov, Ilizarov’s healing apparatus, Demikhov’s two -headed dogs - such stories are worthy of told. Widely known research and unknown facts about the life of scientists will help to get to know the pioneers of medical science more closely. In addition, one section talks about patients with rare nosologies.

Kazuistic cases that turned out to be a tragic fate have had a huge impact on the medical consciousness of the era.
