"stories…in a smooth, clear style that’s impeccably researched"-Kirkus Starred Review "captivating,...vivid, polished storytelling"-BookLife "clearly written and beautifully presented"-IndieReader "a captivating medical history"-Foreword Clarion Review What was it like to be that patient caught in a medical crisis that sparked a medical milestone? Often marked by the desperate need to save human lives, important developments in medicine have invariably started with patients—people whose ordeals fostered the advancement of medical knowledge. This book is a collection of such stories, each chapter an enthralling view into the history of medicine, revealing the extent of human inventiveness, resilience, and compassion. · What compelled U.S. Army doctors to infect themselves with yellow fever virus? · How did an English farmer become the first smallpox vaccinator? · What led to the first human-to-human blood transfusion in the eighteenth century? · Who was the first boy to be revived by a defibrillator, and how did that lead to the launch of CPR? · Could a woman force cautious doctors to implant a new, untested pacemaker in time to save her husband’s life? · How did a fifteen-year-old boy become a victim of AIDS in 1968, decades before the virus even had a name? Most readers will recognize these renowned health solutions. What makes this book so compelling is how the cases that prompted such groundbreaking innovations have considerably affected longevity and quality of human life for generations.

The Smallpox Report
Author: Fuson WangPublisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1487546602
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
After the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccination has become synonymous with an opaque biopower that legislates compulsory immunization at a distance. Contemporary illness narratives have become outlets for distrust, misinformation, reckless denialism, and selfish noncompliance. In The Smallpox Report, Fuson Wang rewinds this contemporary impasse between physician and patient back to the Romantic-era origins of vaccination. The book offers a literary-historical account of smallpox vaccination, contending that the disease’s eventual eradication in 1980 was as much a triumph of the literary imagination as it was an achievement of medical Enlightenment science. Wang traces our modern pandemic-era crisis of vaccine hesitancy back to Edward Jenner’s publication of his treatise on vaccination in 1798, the first rumblings of an anti-vaccination movement, and vaccination’s formative literary history that included authors such as William Wordsworth, William Blake, John Keats, Mary Shelley, and Arthur Conan Doyle. The book concludes with a re-examination of the current deeply contentious public discourse about vaccines that has arisen in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. By recovering the surprisingly literary genres of Romantic-era medical writing, The Smallpox Report models a new literary historical perspective on our own crises of vaccine refusal.
