The first patient they had was a policeman who got an infection from pruning roses? I think i'm remembering that right.
Florey,Chain and the team - had a minute amount and had to recycle his pee to extract it from it. He was recovering, but they ran out of penicillin half way through. his infection took hold again and he died. This forced their hand, they sold the rights to America to get penicillin made - they had the facilities to make the penicillin in mass quantities.
no mention at all in the BBC about this early episode? just some piffle about the discovery of the mould by Fleming. Who took all credit.
