In this conversation, we get into one of the most remarkable stories in medicine and scientific discovery. That is the story of Ignac Semmelweis – a Hungarian-born medical doctor who is credited with discovering the importance of hand washing and a protocol for preventing childbed fever in the 1840s. But rather than being hailed as a hero, and the savior thousands and eventually millions of women, he is found dead, alone in an insane asylum just a few years later. Was Semmelweis a tragic hero, sacrificed on the altar of the scientific establishment who refused to see he genius? Or is there more to the story?
