aaiennst :

he didnt even get to the part where Dr. Ignaz was imprisoned for it

mayodenoche :

then semmelweis got isolated from society because most of the doctors thought he is speaking nonsense. people back then can't be real 😭😭

Apollo Guî :

I've learned so many weird facts i started forgetting a lot of it

yi tian ³³ ⁸¹ | YL2 :

Germ Theory was of Pasteur and Koch. Semmelweis is for Sterilization.

Ndung'u Njau :

meanwhile, Africans were performing complex surgeries including C- sections, trepanations, eye surgeries, bone surgeries...... but the world has been made to believe we were a bunch of cavemen

🦁 :

Surgeons actually believed it was bad to wash your hands befote surgery and ridiculed those that did. They also believed babies didn't feel pain so they performed surgery on them without anesthesia...

coachpotatosir :

What’s a gout hole?

Bjïrreg :

Worst part is (at least if I remember correctly) handwashing didn’t become required by hospitals in the USA until around the 1970s

dethenel cained :

Lord Nice didn’t choose a space fact!?

☭ Jem_Apple ☭ :

But what I never understood was, are they not disgusted? Like not even a “ew I just got shit all over my hands” type reaction? They were just fine with touching nasty smelling liquids and carrying on with their day?

keigo’s karaage leftovers :

washing your hands were also treated as an old wives tale among midwives until this very same thing was theorized by the doctors in the video :))

CosmicColtrane :

Ok ok but again, the Matilda effect, doctors needed to study Midwifes. Because when they delivered babies there was a low mortality and they figured out that the secret was in washing their hands.

Katleho Tlali :

The medical community really did him dirty afterwards
