Ep.83 – Ignaz Semmelweis: The Savior of Mothers (Part 2)

  • Sumário

  • Ignaz Semmelweis is remembered by history as a pioneer of prophylaxis, a champion of sanitation and a David standing against the Goliath of antiquated and incorrect theories on how disease formed and spread. But in his time, he was simply a doctor who wanted to save mothers' lives who were dying in his maternity clinic. Through his hard work and the adoption of his techniques, he saved millions of lives. And his reward for doing so was the destruction of his career, his reputation and his sanity.
