Season 3 Episode 40 - “Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis, a Hungarian physician, observed that doctors were transmitting diseases due to poor hygiene practices. In 1847, he proposed handwashing with chlorinated lime solutions to reduce infection rates, particularly in maternity wards. His ideas were met with ridicule and skepticism from [his contemporaries in] the medical community. Despite the clear evidence of reduced mortality, his warnings were largely ignored during his lifetime. Today, Semmelweis is hailed as a pioneer of antiseptic procedures.” (from the “Back in Time Today” web site) This account reminded me recently of someone from the Old Testament, which got me thinking about practical applications to my life.
