From Pain to Poison

Episodes(3)

Dr. Michael Mosley shows how drugs have revolutionized medicine and changed the course of human history. Unfolding over a period of 200 years, it’s an extraordinary tale of daring, self-experimentation, revelation, genius, and outright luck. In three episodes, Mosley recounts how humans have learned to fight back against disease and death–from unleashing the power of nature’s medicine cabinet to the mass production of modern pharmaceuticals.
