Sam Kean Quotes

In These Days Before Antiseptics, Doctors Themselves Also Suffered High Mortality Rates. Florence Nightingale, A Nurse During The Crimean War (1853-1856), Watched One Particularly Inept Surgeon Cut Both Himself And, Somehow, A Bystander While Blundering About During An Amputation. Both Men Contracted An Infection And Died, As Did The Patient. Nightingale Commented That It Was The Only Surgery She'd Ever Seen With 300 Percent Mortality.
