Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman to become a doctor. She couldn't get into any hospitals in America after she had worked at some in England and France. She set up a room in a poor neighborhood and got blocks of customers.
Alexander Fleming was a bacteriologist. An accident happened when a spore of mold drifted down into a culture in a Petri dish. He put it in a test tube and soon had a colony of furry mold which could kill deadly bacteria. This mold is called Penicillin.

I like these people. I admire Elizabeth for her bravery, Louis for his work, and Alexander for his patience.
