Let us take you on a twisty-turn journey through the history of medicine. In this book you'll discover a handful of epic tales about how some of the world's deadliest diseases were finally conquered thanks to a bunch of the biggest, most hard-won medical breakthroughs ever. But this isn't just a look at science and medicine. It's a story about people. It's a story about those who failed, and these who succeeded; about those who were helped, and those who were harmed. In these pages, you'll find genius and foolishness, kindness and cruelty, hard work and pure luck, and much more besides. And when we're done, we think you'll be convinced that right now is the best time to be laive!
