Well he got a mouthwash named after him, there's always that

And an entire hospital in Stevenage, England.

And an avid fan of categorizing things in an ordered format.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That took me a minute to get.

Also the bacterial genus known as listeria.

[–] Kiernian 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was going to say, I saw the name "Lister" and wondered if there was any connection to "Listerine".

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Listerine was actually developed to disenfect hospital equipment. By Lister.

[–] nevemsenki 43 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Funny how Semmelweis got similarly shitty treatment for the same idea. Though he wasn't so much as laughed at as much as beaten to death in a psych ward.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn't know at all about Semmelweis. Very interesting.. and sad.

[–] nevemsenki 16 points 1 year ago

He really deserved better. Societal momentum is tough to go against, and can easily beat one down... oftentimes literally.

[–] SuperIce 8 points 1 year ago

He was much earlier though and germ theory didn't exist yet, so he couldn't explain why washing your hands would work. It didn't make any sense based on the medical ideas of the time, so people saw his recommendation to wash hands as a superstition. Then he went insane as doctors continued to not wash their hands, resulting in many mothers dying from infections after birth. At least with Lister, he could explain his rationale via germ theory.

[–] felixwhynot 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Too educational for this channel! Mildly interesting perhaps?

[–] SuperIce 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, how is this a shitpost?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's cause the guy was a dick about it... He was correct, but the way he communicated it to the medical community was rude which is why it wasn't adopted earlier.

[–] LemmysMum 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

So they had a cry and people died because they had their fefe's hurt when the smart man correctly identified their habits as neanderthalic? Well if that wasn't proof enough, this sure doesn't make them seem any more capable or less moronic.

[–] Thermal_shocked 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People don't generally listen to dicks, feelings or not. I'm not wastingy time listening, even if you're right, if you're the ass hole everyone hates.

[–] LemmysMum 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wilful ignorance is a detrimental trait, you'd let your ego get in the way of improving your capacity as a person? Sounds pretty pathetic.

[–] Thermal_shocked -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] LemmysMum 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

See, you'd have made a great doctor.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

He’s had enough bro let him go god damn

[–] Spaceballstheusername 2 points 1 year ago

No he had no reason or justification as to why it was happening. He also refuses to do any experiment to prove he was right. That's why no one took him seriously because he sounded like a crazy person.

[–] robocall 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Look at those long sideburn hairs

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

They are called mutton chops. Also, seen on Lemmy Kilmister.

Who's bigger, Lemmy or God?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Microscopic creatures you say... ha, that's a good laugh 🧐.

[–] kameecoding 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wasnt the same caption just posted with Semmelweis as the person in the picture?

[–] SuperIce 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It was a different caption, but the same format and general idea (Semmelweis said that doctors should wash their hands but didn't say anything about disinfection of tools).

[–] jenny_ball 9 points 1 year ago

Whomever died last, probably.
