Medical theory and practice have undergone many waves of change over the centuries, with many changes to come. Here, I explore paradigm shifts in microbiology as a part of medicine.
Fascinating review, loved this. I forgot how disrespected Semmelweis‘s ideas were, and his tragic end. So much conflict on the way to progress in any field…. It will be incredible to see where the current genomic, bioengineering, and AI revolutions lead.
Yes! Semmelweis will always be one of my favorite science heroes. I can scarcely imagine how difficult it must have been for him to continue to stand up for what he believed in based on his scientific observations in the clinic. All too often, the cutting-edge advances in science are held back by dogma.
