Surgeon, scholar, best-selling author, Sherwin B. Nuland tells the
strange story of Ignac Semmelweis with urgency and the insight
gained from his own studies and clinical experience. Ignac
Semmelweis is remembered for the now-commonplace notion that
doctors must wash their hands before examining patients. In
mid-nineteenth-century Vienna, however, this was a subversive idea.
With deaths from childbed fever exploding, Semmelweis discovered
that doctors themselves were spreading the disease. While his
simple reforms worked immediately childbed fever in Vienna all but
disappeared they brought down upon Semmelweis the wrath of the
establishment, and led to his tragic end."
