The Little Surgeon and the World War Cure
A dramatic account of the Rockefeller Institute scientist known as the Little Surgeon who helped develop the Carrel-Dakin solution. The narrative credits his collaboration with an English chemist to create an antiseptic liquid that dramatically reduced wound infections for Allied troops, transforming morale and war outcomes. It notes later adaptation for civilian use and the shift from wartime to peacetime reliance on antiseptics.
