Semmelweis - Retter der Mütter plot

In the middle of the 19th century, the Hungarian doctor Ignaz Semmelweis experienced that when more and more maternity hospitals were established, more and more mothers died from the so-called puerperal fever. Something he also observes in his Viennese clinic. He looks for the cause in unsanitary conditions, such as the transfer of corpse poison. Simmelweis asks his colleagues, who commute between the anatomy and delivery rooms, to recognize the need for thorough disinfection. Like washing your hands with bleach. This measure is met with great resistance from his arrogant colleagues. And then there is his sympathy for the revolution of 1848, for which he is imprisoned. He is later released and sets up a model clinic in Budapest where he can finally push through his own ideas.
