THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD: DR. SEMMELWEIS’ CASE STUDY
An example of the scientific method in action can be found in the work of Ignaz Semmelweis, a Hungarian doctor who lived in the early-to-mid-1800s. He was appointed to a ward in Vienna’s most modern hospital, the Allegemeine Krankenhaus. He noticed that in his ward, patients were dying at a rate that far exceeded that of the other wards, even the wards with much sicker patients. Semmelweis observed the situation for several weeks, trying to figure out what was different about his ward as compared to all others in the hospital. He finally determined that the only noticeable difference was that his ward was the first one that the doctors and medical students visited after they performed autopsies on the dead. Based on his observations, Semmelweis hypothesized that the doctors were carrying something deadly from the corpses upon which the autopsies were being performed to the patients in his ward.
In other words, Dr.…

Modern medicine began with long-ago observations on the function, and malfunction, of the human body. The study of the human body likely began when our early ancestors became curious about how their bodies worked, as we are today. At first they probably thought mostly about injuries and illnesses, because healthy bodies demand little attention from their owners.
