Medical Renegades in History and Modern Times

The chapter explores the stories of two medical renegades - one who infected himself for research and won a Nobel Prize, and another who pioneered cardiac catheterization a century ago. It delves into the significance of peripherally inserted central catheters, their medical applications, and the historical influence of the renegades on modern cardiology. The narrative also compares the bold actions of these renegades with contemporary figures like Elizabeth Holmes, discussing the impact of pushing boundaries in medicine and research.
