The subject matter alone was fascinating - The 10 Greatest Discoveries in Medicine . Some of them, such as the discovery of X-Rays, the discovery of vaccines, and the discovery of drugs for madness, Sadness, and Fear were particularly fascinating. But the boring part was in the manner in which the author chose to cover the topics. He began most chapters with a brief summary of the discovery and then proceeded to use almost the exact words and phrases when elaborating the topic in the chapter itself. And then to make matters worse, at the end of the book he sums everything up by once again using almost the exact same words and phrases. What's the matter Queijo, do you think we the reader are not intelligent to grasp your points? Is that why you kept repeating them over and over again ? ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

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.
