BMJ - most important medical advances

The Editor of the British Medical Journal has asked readers to nominate the most important medical breakthroughs since 1840 when the BMJ was first published.... when he points out life expectancy was half what it is today.

Nominations in les than 100 words by Wednesday 20 September. The most popular 15 breakthroughs will then be voted on and the results announced in January 2007.

Entries to date - many and varied, can be read here. Interesting views on medical advances in the last 166 years.
