“Breakthroughs That Shaped Modern Medicine”
This talk explores key developments in infectious disease, neurology, genetics, surgery, emergency care, and modern therapeutics. Its central theme is simple: progress in medicine often comes from careful observation, the courage to challenge established ideas, and stronger evidence. Through these examples, we will see not only how treatments changed, but also how physicians learned to think differently about disease.
Dr. Suzanne Tormoen is a recently retired internal medicine physician with a master’s degree in nutrition. Raised as a Unitarian, she has lived in Fairhope and Mobile for 42 years.
