Society is Forever Changed
After Penicillin society was changed forever. There was now a new medication that could cure anything form minor cuts to major illnesses. Penicillin saved many many lives. Before penicillin was invented, a minor cut that got infected could lead to amputation. During World War Two this drug saved many lives that would have been lost without it.
Penicillin also changed medicine forever. It opened the door to the creation of more and more medicines. Penicillin is the first antibiotic, after it's creation we can now create other antibiotics that are made the same way as penicillin. Before thie invention of this drug we had no way of making any kind of antibiotic. Before Penicillin, diseases like pnuemonia would be fatal. Now that we have Penicillin diseases like that are easily treated.
Penicillin also is not toxic to the body, before we had it doctors would use chemicals to kill germs. The problem with that is, that the chemicals would also harm the patient. This means that a small infection would be left untreated. That is just as dangerous as getting it treated. Either way, having your infection treated would result in catastrophic illness.( http://87742509.nhd.weebly.com/change.html)
