Dr. Semmelweis was the person that realized that handwashing was important FIRST- not Nightingale. He worked in a hospital in Vienna and at that hospital the death rate of mothers dying during/after child birth were 5 times higher than those mothers who had delivered at home. The reason this was because the students who were delivering babies were also doing work with cadavers (for anatomy class) prior to making their rounds in the maternity ward. He realized this when a student working with the cadavers cut himself and displayed the same symptoms as the mothers did right before they died (shortly after the student died I beeive). When he made his students wash their hands before delivering babies, the death rate went down.. however at the time other doctors at that time thought it was rediculous and ostrisized him
Had to point that out =o)
carry on
