SynopsisHow often have you heard someone say It's only a sore throat, or It's just a cut, nothing to worry about and thought little about it? Medicine has come so far that it's easy to forget the dangers that used to lie behind these minor complaints. a small scratch couldn't be forgotten once it was cleaned and bandaged for it could lead to a deadly infection. Some of the most dramatic changes in the ways we prevent and treat disease have been brought about by scientists whose achievements were rewarded with the Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine. Author Nathan Aaseng tells the stories behind many Nobel Prize-winning medical triumphs., Describes some of the major medical discoveries, such as the cure for tuberculosis and the cause of malaria, made by researchers who were eventually awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine.
