Medicine is seen as an authority and a sacred entity today, but like any institution, it has a dark and somber past. The story of Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis is a prime example of when medicine got it terribly wrong, and the poor judgment of doctors cost the lives of many women. In 19th-century Vienna, the young physician was shunned by his peers for advocating a practice that, at the time, was considered scandalous: hand washing.
