Re: Hysterectomy (1898)
Don't worry. They are done a bit more differently now. Plus unlike back when this was taken in 1898, you won't be bed bound in hospital for 3 weeks. I had mine when I was just 27. In 2000. |

Re: Hysterectomy (1898)
Until the acceptance of germ theory, many people believed disease and/or infections were punishment for evil behavior  In 1848, Ignaz P. Semmelweis, a Hungarian physician working in German hospitals, discovered that a sometimes fatal infection commonly found in maternity hospitals in Europe could be prevented by simple hygiene. observations in the 1830s linked the activity of microorganisms to disease, it was not until 1876 the German physician Robert Koch proved that bacteria can cause diseases. Koch's postulates introduced what has been called the "Golden Era" of medical bacteriology. Between 1879 and 1889, German microbiologists isolated the organisms that cause cholera, typhoid fever, diphtheria, pneumonia, tetanus, meningitis, gonorrhea, as well the staphylococcus and streptococcus organisms. Even as Koch's work was influencing the development of the germ theory, the influence of the English physician Joseph Lister was being felt in operating rooms. Building on the work of both Semmelweis and Pasteur, Lister began soaking surgical dressings in carbolic acid (phenol) to prevent postoperative infection. Other surgeons adopted this practice, which was one of the earliest attempts to control infectious microorganisms.
