Vadim is a surgeon and microbiologist who, by the will of fate, finds himself in St. Petersburg of 1904—inside the body of a medical secretary working for a wealthy doctor, a fraudster. In the courtyard “wells,” gas lamps burn dimly. Horse trams make way for the first automobiles. Filth and luxury, science and spiritualism, beautiful women and fanatical terrorist zealots. Medicine is corrupt. Doctors use treatment with electricity, bloodletting, “golden injections,” magnetism, hypnosis, radon baths, and much more. Shoots of genuine science struggle to break through the habits and superstitions that surround it.

Author’s note: All the medical methods described in the novel are not recommendations; the information about them is evaluative and subjective. For treatment, you should consult specialists.
