Meet the doctors and scientists who learned to cure some of the worst
diseases to strike humanity: James Lind proved that citrus fruits
both cured and prevented scurvy; Edward Jenner developed a vaccine

was the first to use chemotherapy; Frederick Banting discovered
insulin; Alexander Fleming identified penicillin; and Jonas
Salk developed a vaccine against polio.
