Charles Creighton Bücher
Charles Creighton war ein britischer Arzt und medizinischer Autor. Er wurde für seine wissenschaftlichen Schriften zur Medizingeschichte hoch geschätzt, jedoch weithin verurteilt, weil er die Keimtheorie der Infektionskrankheiten bestritt. Seine Werke tauchen tief in die Medizingeschichte ein und bieten eine wissenschaftliche Perspektive. Seine unkonventionellen Ansichten über die Krankheitsursachen riefen jedoch erhebliche Kontroversen und Debatten hervor.
