Taking a thematic rather than strictly chronological approach, W. F. Bynum, explores the key turning points in the history of Western medicine - such as the first surgical procedures, the advent of hospitals, the introduction of anesthesia, X-Rays, vaccinations, and many other innovations, as well as the rise of experimental medicine. The book also explores Western medicine's encounters with Chinese and Indian medicine, as well as nontraditional treatments such as homeopathy, chiropractic, and other alternative medicines.

"Desde el comienzo de la pandemia en México, me indignaron las declaraciones del subsecretario de Salud, Hugo López-Gatell: su insistencia en que la enfermedad no era más grave que la influenza, el exceso de confianza en que todo estaba previsto y el espectáculo teatral de sus apariciones públicas. Hoy, López-Gatell reporta a diario las consecuencias de sus decisiones: más de 134 mil mexicanos han muerto y la pandemia no está cerca de concluir."

Story
When Henry Scowcroft's partner, Zarah, was diagnosed with stage four bladder cancer in 2016, their world fell apart. An award-winning science writer for Cancer Research UK, Henry had spent 14 years at the coal-face of cancer research, but now the disease had infiltrated his personal life too. Henry uses this unique perspective to tell the story of Zarah's illness, how he tried in vain to use everything he'd learnt in his professional career to try to save her and in doing so, how he realised that even a career writing about cancer daily isn't enough preparation for what comes next.
