    Mr. Gawande starts his literature on washing hands. He introduces two friends a microbiologist and an infectious disease specialist. Both work hard and diligently against the spread of diseases just like Semmelweis who is mentioned in the chapter. Something I learned, that not many realize, is that each year two million people acquire an infection while they are in the hospital. Mainly because the clinicians only wash their hands one-third to one-half as many times as they should. Semmelweis, mentioned earlier, concluded in 1847 that doctors themselves were to blame for childbed fever, which was the leading cause of maternal death in childbirth. The best solutions are apparently the sanitizing gels that have only recently caught on in the U.S. Then there was an initiative to make the sanitizing easier for all. The engineer Perreiah came up with solutions that gave the staff more time which was revolutionary in itself but the format worked only under his supervision. After he left it all went down the drain, so, Lloyd a surgeon who had helped Perreiah decided to do more research and was excited when he encountered the positive deviance idea, the idea of building on people’s capabilities instead of trying to change them. The idea worked and even got funding for ten more hospitals across the country. At the end of the chapter Dr.Gawande ponders upon the idea of how many he has infected because of his lack of cleansing.…

    While reading this portion of the chapter, I was wondering why Harper Lee included Hitler in the book. After thinking for a while, I feel she did this to emphasize the main point of racism in the novel. Miss Gates brings up how Hitler is persecuting the Jewish and how bad it is. Yet later on, Scout tells Jem about the time she overheard Miss Gates talking about Tom Robinson and that is was a good thing that he was found guilty because it would, “teach them a lesson to stay in their place”. Going back to Miss Gates’ lesson, she talks about how America is a democracy and therefore, unlike Germany, they do not prosecute anyone. Miss Gates believes that everyone deserves equality, and stresses the importance of democracy and how dictatorship is…
