Long credited to Galland, these stories were Hanna's gift. Syrian folklore with a Mediterranean twist from his journeys. He reshaped global fairy tales we still love today. #ForgottenHero 5/6

This means returning to the mid-19th century when a conceptual leap would stop hospitals from being death traps. At the time, one was even grateful to leave missing limbs. Too many never left at all. #history #science #ForgottenHero #Semmelweis #Lister #writing #writersky
When, with my current convictions, I look into the past, I can endure the miseries to which I have been subjected only by looking at the same time into the future; I see a time when only cases of self-infection will occur in the maternity hospitals of the world. In comparison with the great numbers thus to be saved in the future, the number of patients saved by my students and by me is insignificant. If I am not allowed to see this fortunate time with my own eyes, therefore, my death will nevertheless be brightened by the conviction that sooner or later this time will inevitably arrive.
After finishing rereading Etiology, Concept, and Prophylaxis of Childbed Fever by Ignaz Semmelweis, I was once again moved by the last paragraph of the book. #History #Booksky #Semmelweis #ForgottenHero
