from Chicago History Podcast · host Chicago History Podcast
Send us Fan MailThere was a time when in order to receive blood at a hospital, it needed to be donated directly from a donor to the recipient. One man changed that with the invention of a way to store blood in a "blood bank." Along the way, that man spoke out against fake "cures" that did more harm than good and also tried to make children's medicine a little easier for kids to swallow. This is the story of Dr. Bernard Fantus and The Blood Bank.Thanks to listener Sara for the suggestion!#ChicagoHistory #ChicagoPodcasts #ChicagoMedicine#BernardFantus #BloodBanks #DonateBlood #OakPark #UniversityOfIllinoisCollegeOfMedicineChicago History Podcast Clothing, Mugs, Totes, & More (your purchase helps support the podcast):https://www.teepublic.com/user/chicago-history-podcasthttps://teespring.com/stores/chicago-history-podcastChicago History Podcast ([email protected]):https://www.chicagohistorypod.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Chicago-History-Podcast-107482214277883https://twitter.com/chicago_podhttps://www.instagram.com/chicagohistorypod/Chicago History Podcast Art by John K.
