First Patients by Rod Tanchanco

 The stories of medical discoveries that have changed the face of the medicine world throughout history are often not recognized by the general public. Rod Tanchanco talks about how that fact was the start of the inspiration to write this book. 

The stories in this book talk about the ordinary people that helped change the face of medicine, intentionally or not. These are not the absolute full stories of these people and discoveries, but they are extremely well-written and put together. There is also an extensive list of resources and sources listed at the end of the book that can be used to further research what might interest the readers. 

Even if you don't know a lot about medicine or the medical world - this is still a really interesting book to read. It humanizes some of the medical advancements and just what these advancements meant to the people that pioneered them and the people that needed them desperately. 

I received this book free from Netgalley and Rod Tanchanco to review and this is my honest review. 

Five out of five stars
