Insulin- discovered 102 years ago. Dispensed one year later.

This is a pediatric hospital ward in 1922. All children in this area were dying from ketoacidosis while their parents helplessly watched and waited for the inevitable. It was only a matter of time.
This was truly one of medicine’s most magical moments.
Scientists then went from bed to bed, injecting a newly discovered, purified extract- Insulin.
A marvelous thing occurred; children that were injected first began waking up.
A room of death and helplessness became a place of Life, Joy and Hope.
We owe our lives to Drs. Banting and Best.
