About First Do No Harm
From the publisher's feed
First, Do No Harm tells the true story of medicine. Each episode, host Nirob takes one turning point — the first vaccine, the doctor who discovered hand-washing and was ignored, the conquest of pain,…
the accident that became penicillin, a map that stopped a cholera outbreak, cells taken without consent that saved millions — and rebuilds it: the era, the people, the problem they faced, the discovery, and what it changed for the patients who came after.
From the days when surgery killed more often than it cured to the promise of gene therapy, First, Do No Harm is about the slow, brave, sometimes disastrous human effort to understand and heal the body — and about the patients and doctors whose lives that effort changed. Meticulously researched, honest about the failures and the ethics as well as the triumphs, and respectful of every patient. Clean and suitable for all ages. A new discovery every week
