The only way medicine makes advances is by testing new drugs, vaccines and procedures on people.

Listen as he explains the history of medical breakthroughs and how many brave people have made huge sacrifices so you and I can live longer and healthier than ever before. It is a important story of unsung heroes you need to hear.
