Dr. Carm is taking a short break from diagnosing patients.
Every doctor needs a break, right? So today, she has provided you with these
three facts about October 24th and the medical field.
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
He was born October 24, 1632 and died August 26, 1723. He was the "Father of Microbiology." According to Wiki, "He is best known for his work on the improvement of the microscope and for his contributions towards the establishment of microbiology...he was the first to observe and describe single-celled organisms, which he originally referred to as animalcules, and which we now refer to as microorganisms." He also discovered protozoa.
William Harvey Dobelle
He was born October 24, 1941 and died October 5, 2004. He was a biomedical researcher. According to Wiki, "Dobelle is known for the major impact that he and his company have had on the breathing pacemaker and the medical community as a whole." He also experimented with ways to restore some sight to the blind.
Of course Dr. Carm shall go down in history, but it's nice to remember those that have gone before.
Dr. Carm would like to remind you that October is also Breast Cancer Awareness month! Women, do your self checks and get your mammograms!
