Until the 19th century, surgery did not know what an antiseptic, sterility is, which is dangerous microbes. The patient’s death after a successful operation was a mystery for a long time. But everything changed the discovery of Joseph Lister. He found out that he was a source of infection, and saved a single life.
This book is about the success of an outstanding professor of surgery and how wine and microscope turned the medicine of the Victorian era.
"Gates of Death", this is how operating theaters were called in the 19th century. All because half of those who got to the hospital or on the operating table died either before or after the procedures, although they became painless after the appearance of the air. It was an era when even a simple turning point could lead to amputation, since surgeons and nurses did not even think to wash their hands and instruments, they did not know that in this way they themselves kill those whom they wanted to put on their feet.
The mystery of postoperative death remained unanswered and only Joseph Lister was able to solve it, using a microscope, natural curiosity, excessive perseverance and faith in a bright future. He announced microbes, not air - sources of all infection and proposed a solution to the problem - thereby changing medicine forever.
But his path was not simple
