Imagine a room full of parents sitting at the bedside waiting for the inevitable death of their child.

The scientists went from bed-to-bed and injected the children with the new purified extract -- insulin.

As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first child injected began to awaken.

Then one by one, all the children awoke from their diabetic comas.
然后,所有的孩子一个接一个地从糖尿病的昏迷中醒来。
A room of death and gloom, became a place of joy and hope.
