This month we are joined by Patrick Kelly, with whom we discuss the origins of pharmacy and the development of patent laws. We start out by going over the early roots of pharmacy and how the field evolved over time and eventually separated from medicine. Mia goes over some important public health disasters that led to the introduction of the stricter pharma regulations we have today, and lastly, we discuss how we came to implement patent law in regards to chemicals and medicine.Here is Patrick's physiology Youtube channel and his medical history channel.

Opium and the Opium Wars | LeechFest Ep 24

Hey! We're Salem (Raluca in the early episodes) and Mia, and we're a medical scientist and a historian who put their brains together to create this medical history podcast! We make content about anything we find interesting that is at the intersection between medicine/ medical science and history, with a queer and/ or social justice flair.Support the show:&nbsp;patreon.com/LeechFestPodcast
