In 1846, one doctor wondered why an obstetrics clinic had a higher mortality rate than another. His conclusions might have saved millions of lives, but were largely derided by the medical community. The History Guy recalls a seminal moment in medical history and the phenomena called "The Semmelweis reflex."
