Fleming and the child of the past from my blog ..... WITH

biologist and pharmacologist Alexander Fleming was born in Scotland in 1881. In 1945 he received the Nobel Prize for Medicine for having failed to recognize the importance of a small mold that isolated, purified and synthesized, gave rise to penicillin. A great discovery that changed the lives of many people. I myself was born in '54, just three years, thanks to Fleming and his great discovery, I could treat myself with penicillin and recovered from tuberculosis. Those were years when more people died of TB.

Through much research in bacteriology, Fleming discovered that mold is a fungus contained a substance that can stop the growth of bacteria and thus was able to cure infections. The test on some patients with various types of infections and many miraculously cured.

The mold was, however, be extracted and purified to obtain a powerful substance that can heal and quoting Fleming, "I did not go over not have the aid of a chemical" .

could not convince his superiors of the research that discovered that deserved special attention. Many years later, in 1940, biochemist Chain he met by chance in the writings of Fleming and believing him dead, he made use of those notes with the help of two co-workers .. In a few months purified and synthesized the germicidal substance: penicillin.

Fleming In short, although he believed strongly in the benefits of his discovery, had not been able to convince the brilliant scientist A. Wright as well as his superior.

Now we're going to know a little about his childhood. He grew up on a farm in Scotland, the penultimate child (of 10) of the second wife of his father. The brothers of the first bed was much bigger than him, even university. When the last child was born his father suffered a stroke and survived another two years. Alexander was 4 years old and the father remembers the disease, suffering and disability but also their concern for the future of her children. Certainly lived his childhood pain and the silence and this helps to make inarticulate, In addition to its position within the family, put him in a position to believe that what he thought was much less important than what they were saying his brilliant older siblings. As the child grew quiet that Fleming had continued to live in him and even though he knew he had found in the laboratory a miraculous substance, did not change the course of events failing to convince anyone of its importance. He kept the heroic patience of his crops for 12 years. When he became famous in love with a young doctor and for many years failed to show his love. When he declared himself managed to mumble something and this enabled him to earn his dose of warmth and love after having suffered for a lifetime because of the child who was and who had limited his happiness and the greatness of his work.
