Frederick Banting

My Lovemark in medicine for actually caring

Dr.Banting had returned from the First World War when he had to teach a class at the University of Toronto on diabetes and its ramifications. He lived in a room with scarce heat at Danforth and Carlaw and was behind on his rent. He was so appalled at this disease that he took his natural syllogism for a potential method of control or cure to McLeod and was reproved by his hearty opposition Dr.Banting finally got approval for his idea & Dr.Best was assigned as his assistant. When he succeeded at his invention of "insulin" and won the Nobel for Medicine he gave half of the prize to Dr.Best. Dr.Banting is my Lovemark in medicine for actually caring about those pictures of the people he saw with what was then a fatal disease. For his personal initiative to strive in medicine his selflessness and success are always remembered. Thank you Dr.Banting.
