The Dawn of Modern Medicine
In the early 20th century, a revolution was brewing in American medicine. For centuries, doctors had relied on tradition and superstition rather than science. But a small group of physicians and researchers were determined to transform medicine into a rigorous, evidence-based field. At the forefront was William Henry Welch, a brilliant pathologist who helped establish Johns Hopkins as the premier medical institution in the country. Welch and his colleagues believed that careful observation, experimentation, and laboratory research were the keys to understanding disease. They trained a new generation of doctors to approach medicine scientifically. This shift came just in time. In 1918, the world would face its greatest medical challenge - a pandemic that would infect a third of the global population and kill tens of millions. The scientific foundations laid by Welch and others would be put to the ultimate test.
