Patient Zero: The Cases of Patients Who Made Brilliant Doctors Famous
4.99 €
The history of medicine remembers the names of all the brilliant doctors and outstanding scientists who advanced science, but it almost always forgets the ordinary people who patiently offered their bodies for experimental treatments. Yet behind every medical discovery lies a real-life encounter between a talented doctor and that very "patient zero," whose case inspired a brilliant solution.
In his book, Luc Perino, a French epidemiologist and medical professor, discusses important medical discoveries from the perspective of such patients.

- What is the connection between laughing gas, a carnival barker, and the invention of anesthesia?
- How did "Typhoid Mary" become the world champion in quarantine of all categories?
- What happened to kind Phineas, and how did his story influence the development of the neurophysiology of mood?
- What does Dr. Broca owe to his patient with the strange name Tan Tan?

You will embark on a fascinating journey spanning several centuries and discover a completely different history of medicine.
