english: He was at Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford, and fortunately for him, a small team of doctors led by a Dr. Howard Florey had managed to synthesize a very small amount of penicillin, a drug that had been discovered 12 years before by Alexander Fleming but had never actually been  used to treat a human, and indeed no one even  knew if the drug would work, if it was full of impurities  that would kill the patient, but Florey and his team figured if they had to use it,  they might as well use it on someone who was going to die anyway.
non_english: Hospitalizovali ho v oxfordskej  Radcliffe Infirmary, kde našťastie práve vtedy tím doktora Howarda Floreyho syntetizoval malé množstvo penicilínu. Ten už 12 rokov predtým objavil  Alexander Fleming, ale dovtedy sa ním nikto  nepokúsil liečiť človeka. Netušili ani len to, či bude vôbec účinkovať, pretože obsahoval prímesi, ktoré mohli pacienta usmrtiť. Floreyho tím si však pomyslel, že ak ho majú niekomu podať, tak najlepšie tomu, kto aj tak zomiera.
