The story I came up with for an interesting lecture became a bestseller.
A cultural comic beloved by both medical students and history buffs.

The author, Jean-Noël Fabiani, is a professor of psychiatry who lectures to about 300 medical students every day.
Fabiani, who was wondering if he could grab the students' attention a little more, began to tell interesting anecdotes from the history of medicine during the lecture.
What started out as a simple storytelling exercise attracted enough interest to spark in-depth discussions among medical students.
The famous lecture became a hot topic in France and was made into an educational comic.
And within three months of its publication, it reached number one on the French Amazon bestseller list in the history category and the science category.

From theoretical guesswork to intense experience,
There have always been concerns, and humans have always sought answers.

After the Neolithic Age, as agriculture and livestock farming developed and people began to live together in one place, infectious diseases arose.
For centuries, epidemic diseases such as smallpox, the Black Death, cholera, syphilis, and leprosy have killed countless people.
However, there was no proper diagnosis or treatment.
It was not until the 18th century that specialized researchers such as the British physician Edward Jenner and the French microbiologist Pasteur emerged.
Finally, an effective treatment for the epidemic has begun.

Before the Middle Ages, everything came from the mind.
Hippocrates never performed an autopsy in his lifetime, yet he discovered theories that are still considered true today.
Since then, scholars have actually discovered and invented blood circulation, bacteria, and vaccines, accelerating medical research.
Sanatoriums were originally lodgings provided for pilgrims and people with nowhere to go, and the history of hospitals built solely for the purpose of accommodating patients is not as old as one might think.
Throughout the short history of medicine, humans have faced constant challenges.
Every century has had serious problems such as cholera, plague, and anesthesia.
But surprisingly, humans always found the answer.

A mixture of love, passion, science and chance
The dramatic history of medicine

This book contains anecdotes about doctors who made great contributions to human history.
These are stories that are not widely known to the world, which makes them all the more interesting.
The reason Hippocrates wrote the Hippocratic Oath, which outlines the ethics of doctors, was because of Socrates' will.
Galen, the great anatomist of ancient Greece, was famous as a surgeon who treated gladiators.


The revised edition, with eight additional chapters, includes the history of nurses and female doctors.
It contains anecdotes of great figures such as Florence Nightingale, who led the way in professional nursing, Elizabeth Blackwell, who broke through the glass ceiling to become the first female doctor in the United States, and the history of hospitals that were transformed from confinement facilities into treatment facilities.
The story of dazzling achievements and hardships is sometimes touching, but at other times it is a series of unfortunate events.
This book is a grand compilation of medical history, a tangled web of misunderstanding and belief, love and jealousy, chance and obsession.
