when a patient dies of childbed fever,a doctor performs an autopsy

If I may, just what do you think causes inflammation? Nothing?It just is? Really?Humor me for a moment in discussing one of your colleague ideas?Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes.I know, I know, you don like his theory?you already wrote a scathing letter about it.But let fill your students in, shall we?Holmes noticed a pattern: when a patient dies of childbed fever,a doctor performs an autopsy.If the doctor then treats a new patient,that patient often comes down with the fever.
