The patient then leaves leaving his prescription for the white pills on the table. The patient then sees Dr. Zuger again after a month and he felt a lot better.

Semmelweis didn’t believe those reasons, and tried to find the real cause, despite opposition from his boss. Semmelweis noticed that the death rate of mothers was higher in the wards where they were treated by medical students who had come straight from the dissecting room.

Semmelweis made all the medical students wash their hands between patients, despite the disagreement of his superior, who did not believe hand-washing had any effect. The mortality rate of mothers dropped from about 18% to 1%.
