Canadian Nobel laureate, Dr. Frederick Banting discovered insulin and sold the rights of the University of Toronto (Canada) for $ 1 to insulin was available to everyone. On his patent did not want to sell the pharmaceutical companies because it would mean that only the rich could afford insulin. On one occasion he said: ” Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the whole world. ”.
I remember his name from a nursing pharmacology course I took in my practical nursing program about 15 years ago.
In fact Dr Fredrick was one of the best doctor.
