How did the penicillin change the world?
In 1940 penicillin was finally produced and by this time World War II has started. Wounded soldiers were in need for penicillin, as records show penicillin has been used on D-Day to cure soldiers from gangrene. Medical companies started sending out a 100 billion units of penicillin per month by 1944. After this drug's miraculous effects on these soldiers, more and more of this drug was demanded from the medical companies in the United States. Researchers believe that penicillin was one of the indirect causes of the victory of the allies during the war. Today some of us don't realize the importance of penicillin and that it prevents many children from getting diseases such as infections of the bone, stomach, or throat. Back then children died regularly from what is today considered minor diseases and infections. Indeed penicillin is a miracle drug.In conclusion the discovery of penicillin had its impacts on history and today. For sure we owe a big thank you to scientists Alexander Fleming, Ernst Chain, and Norman Heatley. The three scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and were worthy of fame from all around the world. Fleming and all the other scientists that worked on the miracle drug did not anticipate that someday this drug would save more lives then any other drug created. It is not an overstatement to say that many people and generations wouldn't be here today if it weren't for this miracle antibiotic, penicillin.
