Dr. Amer Husseini shines a spotlight on individuals who have made amazing medical discoveries.He also explores how making such discoveries requires not only intellect, but also perseverance, and a vivid imagination.There have been countless others who have made similar observations as the individuals featured in this book, that never fully grasped the potential impact of what they saw. True pioneers are defined not just by what they know and see, but by their determination to bring their discovery to the world.One such example is Michael Heidelberger, and Walter Jacobs, who first synthesized sulfanilamide in 1915. Their investigation was ultimately terminated because the researchers were unable to envision that sulfonamide would be effective against bacterial infection. As a result, the development of sulfa drugs was delayed for an additional twenty years.Join the author as he examines past medical discoveries, successes and failures, and the noble and sometimes not-so-ethical practices that have led to revolutionary changes in medicine.
