ABSTRACT

Resumen A Semmelweis, la posteridad sólo le reconoce la introducción del lavado antiséptico de manos para reducir la infección hospitalaria, lo acusa de haber sido incapaz de superar las dificultades epistémicas para levantar el statu quo imperante, se lo denuesta por defender con fervor sus ideas, por su tosquedady torpeza en las relaciones con sus colegas, y por la rudeza de sus escritos. Su cometido se centraba en desarrollar prácticas obstétricas seguras, valorativas de la vida de la madre y cumplidoras del imperativo ético para el médico, por sobre todo no hacer daño. La deuda que se tiene con Semmelweis es el reconocimiento de su altura moral. (Acta Med Colomb 2014; 39: 90-96).
