[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 45502, member: 8110"] I noticed a room named after him at BMA house. For those that don't know, he proved that cholera is water borne and not caused by a miasma. He halted a cholera outbreak in Soho in the 18th? century by the simple means of removing the handle of the water pump (the Broad Street pump) near the geographic centre of the outbreak. Local brewery workers didn't get the cholera and a former resident of the area, who collected drinking water from there even after moving away died. He was pretty much the first British doctor to apply scientific method the investigating disease. I was listening to Radio 4 this morning and heard a discussion on whether Florence Nightingale knew Germ theory. A new biography has come out which says she did. and Hugh Pennington!!!! says she didn't. Do we need a John Snow to take up the cause for low carb? [/QUOTE]
