本次分享将以近现代以来人类对微生物认知的不断深入、治疗手段的持续迭代、与流行病的持续抗争为主线,分享现代医学的发展历程。 瘟疫在多大程度上改变了历史? 帝国主义的扩张何种程度影响了医学发展? 人类对病菌的认识经历了一个什么样的过程? 医生是不是一个有道德要求的职业? 流行病为什么总是周期性出现? 书籍&影视: 万景华《征服病菌的道路》 纪录片《手术两百年》 山崎丰子《白色巨塔》

Following humanity's ever deeper understanding of microorganisms since early modern times, the constant improvement of treatments, and the ongoing struggle against epidemics, this session traces the development of modern medicine. To what extent have plagues changed history? To what extent did imperialist expansion influence the development of medicine? How did humanity's understanding of germs develop? Is medicine a profession with moral obligations? Why do epidemics keep recurring in cycles?
