Zero patient. About patients, thanks to whom brilliant doctors have become famous. Perino hatch

Speaking about the history of medicine and discoveries that have successfully treated diseases, we always recall the names of brilliant doctors and scientists. But we forget about those who made these discoveries possible. The book of Luke Perino is dedicated to patients whose cases moved medicine forward and made it the way we know now. You will find an interesting adventure of several centuries, during which you will become an observer of the first experiments with anesthesia, vaccines testing, treatment of hysteria and other medical events. The author of the “zero patient” talks about those people who patiently, in rural hospitals or at receptions with practitioners, provided their body for research. Perhaps not all of them fully understood what contribution to the development of medicine they make, but it was their participation that made the treatment of many diseases effective and successful.
