Abstract

I think your solution is just, but why think? Why not try the experiment? JOHN HUNTER to EDWARD JENNER, The Greatest Benefit to Mankind In 1798 Edward Jenner, a country doctor practicing in rural Gloucestershire, described the production of immunity to smallpox by immunization with cowpox. By publishing his Inquiry and Further Observations, he demonstrated that independent physicians can make extraordinary observations and contributions. Medical research by the end of the 20th century largely has become the exclusive bailiwick of medical center teams. Research grants, corporate funding, and better access to publications skew the research process toward full-time academic research. Nonetheless, major innovative advances in ophthalmology continue to originate from the endeavors of imaginative and determined clinicians. Phacoemulsification, intraocular lenses, the relationship between oxygen exposure in premature infants and retrolental fibroplasia, and refractive surgery are examples of contributions that sprung from individual inventors.
