Medical Firsts: Innovations and Milestones That Changed the World

Ever wonder who established the first hospital blood bank? (Hint: not the US) or how 3-D printing has changed medicine? Concerned about your physician’s educational credentials? If you lived in the first few decades of the twentieth century, you should have been. Medical school could be as short as six months with no educational pre-requisites until 1898 when the first university (no, not Harvard) began requiring a college degree to enroll in their medical school. Medical procedures and concepts we take for granted today from hypodermic needles to baby incubators began as an idea to solve a health problem. Fifty of these life-changing innovations and the trailblazers who developed them are explored in Medical Firsts: Innovations and Milestones That Changed the World.
