This is a history of evidence-based medicine from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, presented in the form of short illustrated stories. The book describes both familiar and completely unknown facts. Doctors-researchers, doctors-innovators, doctors-writers, doctors-patients, doctors-politicians - all of them made amazing discoveries and feats to save patients' lives. You will learn about the most significant operations that initiated the development of major areas of medicine; how the agents of deadly diseases were discovered and how they were defeated; how methods of treating chronic diseases and acute conditions were developed; how medical equipment and vital drugs were invented and improved. The author explains complex medical terms and the essence of important physiological processes in an accessible way. There is no fiction in the book: the facts presented are supported by careful verification in specialized literature and periodicals, memoirs, interviews, lectures, and archival materials.
