Stories from the History of Medicine: Superstitions to Modern Practice

Modern medicine has many diagnostic and treatment tools that appear miraculous and would be even more amazing for a physician who practiced 100 to 200 years ago. How did this happen? The road to medical discoveries in the last three centuries includes stories of exceptional persistence, creative approaches, and personal risk, even self-experimentation. Bill will present a selection of stories of the taming of diseases like anthrax, rabies, yellow fever, choler, malaria and more.

PRESENTER: Dr. Bill Wozniak
