However, our textbooks mostly mention their names and contributions only in a sentence or two. We do not know who they are as a person, their stories, their struggles, and what led them to their discoveries and achievements. This includes how the practice of medicine shaped and evolved in time with their contributions. Siddhartha Mukherjee’s 2011 Pulitzer Prize-winning The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer is one such book which narrates the history of cancer from accounts about it in Egyptian and Greek civilizations to current advancements in its research and treatment. Randy Shilt’s 1987 book And the Band Played on: Politics, People and the AIDS Epidemic chronicles how the Human Immunodeficiency Virus and subsequently the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome were discovered. It tells the story of struggles of the patients and the medical fraternity who had to face not only the stigma when it was initially conceived as a “gay disease” but also the apathy from the government and ego clashes between scientists researching the disease. Stories like these are not told in textbooks, and books like the ones mentioned above provide a humanistic view to the field of medicine.
