  Thank you. I was not familiar with this term. But to be clear: Semmelweis was a physician in charge of a couple of clinics who documented differences in mortality rates and used this to suggest hand-washing for physicians before germ theory was a thing. He was thrown in an insane asylum and was badly beaten by the guards and soon died as a consequence of the beating. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Semmelweis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Semmelweis
