This is known as one of Medicine's most incredible moments. In 1922, at the University of Toronto, scientists went to a hospital ward with children who were comatose and dying from diabetic keto-acidosis. Imagine a room full of parents sitting at the bedside waiting for the inevitable death of their child-The scientists went from bed to bed and injected the children with the new purified extract - insulin.As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first child injected began to awaken.One by one, all of the children awoke from their diabetic comas. A room of death and gloom, became a place of joy and hope. - iFunny
