The Discovery of Insulin

by Michael Bliss

McClelland & Stewart | April 20, 1996 | Trade Paperback

The discovery of insulin at the University of Toronto in 1921 resulted in international acclaim and the Nobel Prize for Medicine-- but few awards have generated more controversy. The Discovery of Insulin reveals the intense and sometimes violent confrontations that arose within the research team of Banting, Best, Collip and Macloed. More dramatic than fiction, Michael Bliss reconstructs the award-winning story in this special anniversary edition.

Discovery of Insulin

Judith Renwick RN MSN CPNP

Highly recommended. An unsentimental exhaustively referenced treatment of the people and events surrounding one of the most important medical discoveries of the 20th century. A little slow in the early chapters dealing with dog experiments, but overall a fascinating read for anyone interested in medical history or diabetes.
