Life and Achievements of Professor Robert Gwyn Macfarlane FRS
Early in his career, Robert Gwyn Macfarlane was a surgical dresser, and during that time he was allotted a small boy with a cut on his chin that would not stop bleeding. The boy was known to be from a family of bleeders. Every method of haemostasis was tried without success and the boy was becoming seriously anaemic. It was decided to give the boy a blood transfusion - quite an event in the 1930s. Macfarlane noticed that as soon as the blood was given the bleeding stopped.
How to Win the Nobel Prize
"Alongside his own story, that of a youthful humanist evolving into an ambivalent medical student, an accidental microbiologist, and finally a world-class researcher, Bishop gives us a fast-paced and engrossing tale of the microbe hunters. It is a narrative enlivened by vivid anecdotes about our deadliest microbial enemies - the Black Death, cholera, syphilis, tuberculosis, malaria, smallpox, HIV - and by biographical sketches of the scientists who led the fight against these scourges.".
