  A fast-paced account of a giant of twentieth century medicine, First the Patient details how David Nathan saved patients with his medical skill and rescued institutions with his visionary leadership. 
   
   
   
  The miraculous triumphs of modern medicine—antibiotics, insulin, cancer cures, longer and better lives—are the fruits of its firm grounding in science. But too often, the healing touch, the empathy of a physician for the patient, and the art of medicine, can be neglected in pursuit of breakthroughs. 
   
   
   
  David Nathan never accepted that bargain. A brilliant hematologist thoroughly steeped in scientific rigor with a research track record to prove it, Nathan was above all a humanist, a caring physician who never failed to put the patient first even when that patient was his research subject. This same humanism, along with the profound psychological insights it affords, propelled Nathan to the top ranks of academic leadership. He served first at Boston Children's Hospital, then at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute where, as president, he rescued a hospital on the brink of extinction after its doctors administered a fatal chemotherapy overdose. First the Patient is the story of a physician who left an indelible imprint on medicine through his relentless focus on the patient.

  Pharmaceutical trials are essential to the development of new drugs and treatments, providing the necessary data to ensure they are safe and effective for public use. These trials have evolved over centuries, from rudimentary experiments to the sophisticated, multi-phase studies we see today. They are the cornerstone of modern medicine, influencing the drugs that populate our pharmacies and hospitals. However, the process is not without its flaws, and the history of pharmaceutical trials is marked by ethical concerns, controversy, and a complex relationship between researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and patients. 
    
  The primary goal of pharmaceutical trials is to test new drugs and therapies on human participants to gather data on their safety, efficacy, and potential side effects. These trials follow a strict protocol, designed to minimize risks while maximizing the quality of the data collected. The process typically begins with preclinical testing in laboratories, followed by clinical trials involving human subjects. These trials are divided into several phases, each designed to answer different scientific questions. From small-scale phase I trials to large-scale phase III studies, the data gathered at each stage is critical in determining whether a drug is ready for approval by regulatory authorities. 
    
  However, the path from laboratory to pharmacy shelves is not always smooth. The influence of pharmaceutical companies looms large over clinical trials, as they fund many studies and are often the driving force behind research agendas. While their involvement has led to groundbreaking advancements in medicine, it has also raised concerns about conflicts of interest and the integrity of trial data. In some cases, financial pressures have led to the manipulation or suppression of results that could impact a drug’s approval.
