Joseph Lister Turned Surgery into a science rather than butchery Made connection that the germs that were infecting his patients were coming from the dirty hands of doctors. Researched Gangrene CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF CARBOLIC ACID BEING USED TO CLEAN HANDS AND SURGICAL TOOLS. (came up with idea when a friend said that the place Lister was working in smelt like sewage as sewage was treated with carbolic acid. Lister went on to use sterilized tools (sterilized by carbolic acid) on a young boy while he was having an operation, the boy survived. Lister's doctors didn't like using the carbolic acid as it cracked the skin Lister also went to London and trained young surgeons and covered them so that they would keep everything clean and germ free.
