A funny way to present the history of medicine with accent on more than what worked and when was it invented (for many things much later than I would have thought!) but also on what wrong beliefs were held and how society was influenced by and influenced the development of medicine. Reading the book makes you realize how far we have come and how hard is to develop knowledge, but also how many things are still not solved. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
In the Middle Ages, surgery was performed by barbers, owing to their skill with sharp instruments. In the mid-19th century, a "grand exhibition" of the effects of laughing gas inadvertently led to the discovery of anaesthesia. Three decades later, Louis Pasteur enjoyed a crucial breakthrough in his search for vaccinations because his assistant decided, against his orders, to take a vacation.In Medicine: A Graphic History, surgeon and professor of medical history Jean-Noël Fabiani stitches together the most significant and intriguing episodes from the history of medicine, from chance breakthroughs to hard-fought scientific discoveries.Spanning centuries and crossing continents, this fast-paced and yet rigorously detailed graphic novel guides us through one of the most wondrous strands of human history, covering everything from blood-letting to organ donation, x-rays to prosthetics.
