Ignatz Semmelweiss died for your sins.
Hi Mark,
Semmelweiss is a hero of mine. Sad he had no good bed-side manners! If he had been a nicer person he may of been a better known person in history? As more and more folks would not hear what he had to say the more up-set he got. The more he got up-set the more he was though mad. It is sad the thing he was fighting (germs) is what killed him in the end. So is history
Be safe
Rory
