He figured out that this was because the doctors were dissecting corpses inbetween delivering babies, while the nurses weren’t, and came up with his controversial “hey, why don’t we all wash our filthy, filthy hands before sticking them in a woman?” theory.

The result, short term, was that the mortality rate on this one maternity ward decreased by a ridiculous amount. They went from “write your will before you come here, because you’re probably gonna die” to “we’re not 100% sure, but you’ll probably live”.

The result, long term, was that Semmelweiss was hated by absolutely everybody, lost his reputation and had his career suffer terribly.

His eventual reward was that eventually people finally started sashimg their hands with soap before operations, history remembers him as a misunderstood hero, and the instinctive angry and defensive reaction so many people give whenconfronted with new ideas that conflict with their established view of the world is now called ‘the Semmelweiss reflex’.

then he realised HE COULD CAPTION THEM

take a shower so you’re alert? clean and comfy, the sheets would feel so nice, perfect time for a nap

eat some food so you have energy? nice full belly, time for some rest

go for a walk outside to break grogginess? need to take a break after that and lie down in bed

exercise to get blood flowing? there goes all my energy for the day! definitely time to sleep 

meet up with a close friend? maybe I could curl up on their couch 

spending time with my girlfriend? lets lie down and cuddle

reading or researching? I could lie down while I read and maybe nap after the next chapter

writing? definitely earned a nap after writing two pages

coffee? I could go back to sleep after that easy
