    What a remarkable man. O.k so we know now that it’s the washing of hands but how come this man isn’t famous . I swear his name , and a photo or portrait if available, should be in every obstetric facility , and in every country. Wouldn’t hurt to be in all hospitals and clinics. Knowing how pedantic ( and rightly so) all drs are now about washing his hands. He should be as famous as other names. What a wonderful man. We, who didn’t have to die during childbirth ( and mine were born in the early 70’s) thank you sir. Thank you for doing this email. Wonderful work. Thank you sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

    Why does this video remind me of the Family Guy episode where Peter crawls in stewie’s crib and you hear Lois yelling from the other room, “Peter, you will wash your hands after you poop!” And Peter puts his finger to Stewie’s mouth and says “shush; I won’t.”😂

    By all means, this man in the 1800s was a hero! In today's world, however, it's about darn time to make male ObGyns a thing of the past. There are plenty of female physicians nowadays, and the ObGyn specialty should be about women caring for other women.

    Semmelweis's parents were not Jewish. Please do your research before you make a video. Many of his colleagues were Jews, but he was of German Catholic ancestry. Nevertheless, he was a Hungarian. Jew or not.
