The Discovery of Insulin: The Boy Who Lived

In January 1922, at Toronto General Hospital, a 14-year-old boy named Leonard Thompson was dying of diabetes. At the time, a diagnosis meant a starvation diet and, usually, death within months. Then doctors gave him an injection of a new extract made in a University of Toronto laboratory.
This episode follows the unlikely team behind it: Frederick Banting, a young surgeon with an idea, the student Charles Best, the professor J.J.R. Macleod, and the chemist James Collip, who made the extract pure enough to use. It follows the breakthrough, the bitter fights over credit, and the Nobel Prize that followed. We also sort the record from the legend, including the story of the patent sold for a single dollar.
Created with the assistance of AI, using an AI model of the host's voice, and checked against the historical record.
