Semmelweis

Work:: Semmelweis (S1558719190)

It takes someone difficult to change the world. Confronted by the terrible death toll of childbed fever, maverick Doctor Semmelweis makes a discovery that could save hundreds of thousands of new mothers. But when the medical establishment questions his methods, rejects his theory and doubts his sanity, the controversial surgeon finds that being a pioneer is not enough. Haunted by the ghosts of the women he could not save, can he convince a corrupt institution to see the truth?
