Charles Creighton Boeken
Charles Creighton was een Britse arts en medisch auteur. Hij werd hoog gewaardeerd om zijn wetenschappelijke geschriften over medische geschiedenis, maar werd breed veroordeeld vanwege zijn betwisting van de kiemtheorie van infectieziekten. Zijn werk duikt in de annalen van de medische geschiedenis en biedt een wetenschappelijk perspectief. Zijn onconventionele opvattingen over de oorsprong van ziekten leidden echter tot aanzienlijke controverses en debatten.
