Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis the Hungarian doctor, now known as an early pioneer of antiseptic procedures!
"Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis was a Hungarian doctor, now known as an early pioneer of antiseptic procedures. Described as the "saviour of mothers", Semmelweis discovered that the incidence of puerperal, or childbed fever, could be drastically cut if doctors washed their hands before delivering babies in maternity wards. However, he was ridiculed and persecuted for his discovery and died an outcast. This program tells his amazing yet tragic story and shares a message of hope for us today."
Masked Man's Afterthought:
Even though this documentary is all about hand washing, I can't help but think about the importance of Masking in the medical field and in the public considering the high levels of covid currently indicated in wastewater in my area and in this pandemic I am in 09/22/2024 North Carolina.
