À propos de cet audio
From traditional Chinese medicine to today's sophisticated gene therapies and robotic surgery, A Short History of Medicine combines riveting storytelling, historical accounts and lucid explanations, to illuminate the story of medicine through time.
Witness early, bloody, anaesthetic-free operations and first crude surgical instruments; trace the mapping of the circulatory system; follow the painstaking detective work that led to the decoding of the human genome; and understand the role that potions, cures, therapies, herbal medicines, and drugs have played in the human quest to tame and conquer disease, injury, and death.
Previously published as Kill or Cure, A Short History of Medicine is an engrossing history and tale of drama and discovery that celebrates the milestones of medical history across generations and cultures.
