- ArkyBeagle 11y agoI don't mind downvotes at all, but... http://www.napoleon.org/en/magazine/interviews/lemaire.asp http://www.napoleon.org/en/magazine/interviews/lemaire.asp "In my opinion, the great leap forward in medical knowledge, the birth of modern medicine, occurs somewhere in the period between the beginning of the Revolution and the end of the Empire." I don't if or when this became obscure knowledge, but I don't even remember when I first learned it. To be sure, Koch, the germ theory and understanding of sepcis came later, almost inexplicably.
