Global epidemics have always terrified humanity – plague, cholera, smallpox and other dangerous diseases. Not only because of their deadly reputation, but also because of the unknown that they concealed in their appearance and transmission routes. To find out, doctors had to turn their gaze to where infections raged with incredible force, namely, to the lower classes of the population. It was the observation of them that served as the basis for the development of one of the most significant areas of modern medicine – epidemiology. Find out in what conditions slaves were kept, why city services had to rebuild prisons, what cruel tests patients were subjected to in hospitals of that time, and go through the entire path of studying the disease with great epidemiologists who made incredible discoveries.
