Dates In Medicine

This is a one-of-a-kind record of the milestones of medical progress from 4000 BC to the present. A new concept unlike anything published before, this unique volume lists in chronological order many of the key dates in the development of medicine over the last six millennia. Starting with the ancient Egyptians and Chinese and ending with the new malaria vaccine just developed in 1999, this book provides a hitherto unavailable record and reference for everyone in medicine and an exceptional perspective over 6000 years of medical progress.
