How do you cure one drug epidemic? Create a new drug. That’s what happened in the late 1880s, when heroin was introduced as a safe and non-addictive substitute for morphine. Known as diamorphine, it was created by an English chemical researcher named C.R. Alder Wright in the 1870s, but it wasn’t until a chemist working for Bayer pharmaceuticals discovered Wright’s paper in 1895 that the drug came to market.
Finding it to be five times more effective—and supposedly less addictive—than morphine, Bayer began advertising a heroin-laced aspirin in 1898, which they marketed towards children suffering from sore throats, coughs, and cold. Some bottles depicted children eagerly reaching for the medicine, with moms giving their sick kids heroin on a spoon. Doctors started to have an inkling that heroin may not be as non-addictive as it seemed when patients began coming back for bottle after bottle. Despite the pushback from physicians and negative stories about heroin’s side effects pilling up, Bayer continued to market and produce their product until 1913. Eleven years later, the FDA banned heroin altogether.

✨✨September 24 marked a significant milestone for our bookclub -our first in-person meeting and discussion! ✨✨
Our club had been reading Fyodor Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" for the past month. It was such a great pick and served as the perfect catalyst for a lively conversation.
We shared our favorite scenes, then delved into the philosophical realm, sparking thought-provoking dialogues about objective morality and utilitarianism, concepts brilliantly woven into the fabric of Dostoevsky's masterpiece.
The meeting was not only intellectually stimulating but also immensely fun! The excitement was palpable, and the passion for literature undeniable 🤩.
We've picked አልወለድም as our next read. We hope more of our members will join us on the next discussion! if you're not a member and are interested in joining our bookclub, you can contact us : @aman_13i @animated_dust @Idiosyncraticflux

The surgery with 300% fatality rate ☠️
Before the advent of anesthesia, speed was very important in surgery to minimize patient pain, and the Scottish surgeon Robert Liston was considered the fastest surgeon of his time. Liston once amputated a patient's leg in 28 seconds, while accidentally cutting off his assistant's fingers. Liston's patient and assistant eventually died of sepsis, and one witness to the operation died of shock, making it the deadliest operation in history.
