Doctors who conquered incurable diseases and saved millions of lives
Today it is difficult for us to imagine that not so long ago the overwhelming number of diseases were considered incurable, and the average life expectancy on earth was about 30-40 years. When certain parts of the body were affected by some disease, people relied more on God than on medicine. For a long time, a person did not dare to study himself. What prompted those to whom this book is dedicated to change the course of history? Hippocrates, Avicenna, Pirogov, Botkin, X-ray, Sklifosovsky, Pavlov – their names are familiar to everyone, their achievements are relevant to this day.
In this book, we are talking about incredible, but real events that took place, and about the people thanks to whom humanity escaped from the clutches of evil fate. The heroes of these events are great doctors who have learned the secrets of previously incurable diseases and saved millions of lives. The book intertwines the triumph of significant scientific achievements and the sacrifice of individuals, human joys and sorrows, victories and defeats.
