Character: N/A
In the middle of the 19th century, almost one in three women who gave birth died of puerperal fever.

He tries to convince the doctors of the absolute necessity of thorough disinfection by washing their hands with chlorinated lime. He meets with fierce resistance from his colleagues until he himself sets up an exemplary clinic in Budapest.
