Phototherapy
The accidental discovery of phototherapy for the treatment of neonatal jaundice! It was first discovered at Rochford Hospital in Essex, England, when nurses there noticed that babies exposed to sunlight had less jaundice, and pathologists noticed that a vial of blood left in the sun had less bilirubin. Today, light therapy is applied by overhead lamps which emit a specific frequency of blue light!
