The doctor and popularizer Pedro Gargantilla has published the book ‘History of Medicine. A journey through the milestones of medical science over time’, which shows how each step in the evolution of this discipline increases life expectancy and makes it possible to fight against illness, pain and death.
This publication takes a journey from prehistory to the Covid-19 pandemic. A journey through time through the most relevant characters, anecdotes and discoveries in Medicine, “through the tortuous and surprising paths that medical science has traveled throughout the centuries”.
Thus, Pedro Gargantilla starts from the healing practices of the most ancient cultures, goes through the great advances of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, until reaching modern times, and shows how the health sciences evolved through centuries, always with the aim of achieving healing, improving the treatment of disease and the well-being of people.
In addition, this author reviews from the creation of the first vaccine to the invention of antibiotics, the discovery of blood circulation, the empirical knowledge of human anatomy and physiology.
