Bittersweet: Diabetes, Insulin, and the Transformation of Illness - Studies in Social Medicine
Chris Feudtner
One of medicine's most remarkable therapeutic triumphs was the discovery of insulin in 1921. But the author demonstrates that the transformation of the disease from fatal condition into a chronic illness is tinged with irony and one which illuminates the human consequences of medical intervention.
