    <![CDATA[This is Morton Meyers' fascinating, entertaining, and highly  accessible look at the surprising role serendipity played in some of the  most important medical discoveries in the 20th century. Though within the  scientific community a certain stigma is attached to chance discovery  because it is wrongly seen as pure luck, happy accidents happen every day  and Meyers shows how it takes intelligence, insight, and creativity to  recognize a &quot;Eureka! I found what I wasn't look for!&quot; moment and know what  to do next. Penicillin, chemotherapy drugs, X-rays, Valium, the Pap smear,  and Viagra were all discovered accidentally, stumbled upon in search of  something else. In discussing these medical breakthroughs and others, Dr.  Meyers makes a cogent, highly engaging argument for a more creative, rather  than purely linear, approach to science.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This was more a long book of information than I-can't-put-it-down-read. At times, it's interesting. At times, it's sort of boring, but it's an eye opening look at how accidents in the medical field can change the course of modern medicine. For example, penicillin was found by accident.
