...Crofton, along with a team of doctors at London's Brompton Hospital, who finally answered the question in 1950. In a 15-month trial involving 107 patients, the physicians showed that streptomycin curbed the number of deaths from TB. That success was short-lived: the TB bacilli quickly became resistant to the drug, blossoming into raging infections. Crofton, however, had the insight to combine streptomycin with another new antibiotic--a formula that was to become the blueprint for combination therapy. That approach still forms the cornerstone of TB treatment and served as the inspiration for similar multipronged attacks on serious...

As a former teacher, I found Morrison's comment condescending and unnecessary...
