This is the inspiring story of a tragic Hungarian physician who launched a new era in obstetrics with his lifesaving discovery and who was condemned to struggle alone until his early death. He was Ignaz Phillip Semmelweis, who devoted his life to the conquest of childbed fever, which claimed so many victims. His rewards were hostility and persecution, and his great contribution was never fully accepted in his lifetime.
