"History has not forgotten you, John Snow." Gotta say, I had some feels when you said that. Just imagine if we could tell all these great men and women in our history just how much they've impacted our society over the years.

[@dmann2152]

I'm on vacation in London, and I visited Broad Street today. They have a sort of memorial, a water pump without a handle, in front of a bar called the John Snow saloon. It's nothing that stands out too much, just a pump on the sidewalk. But John Snow is remembered.

[@MatthiasPendragon]

So, does anyone else think this would make an interesting movie? A mix of period piece and medical thriller. Add in some character development and some interpersonal conflicts (with a dash of fiction to spruce it up) and I think you'd have an interesting film.

I always wondered about this part of the Broad Street Pump story...why did the infant survive for 4 days when so many others died within the day? I just figured it out and it seems so obvious now: this was the 19th century...of course the baby was being breastfed. Breast milk has salt, glucose, potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc. Everything necessary to treat the primary symptom of the disease.

[@stefanosgro2067]

+Pokemon Fanboy weird that he was a priest, specially since most priests at the time (at least to my knowledge) were pretty much convinced they had all the answers

[@FNGLHR]

+Pokemon Fanboy Technically he was a parish preist with an open mind and an affinity towards the poor who apparently refused to accept that being a working class stiff made you morally bankrupt. But at least he was smart enough to listen to someone who knew what he was talking about.

[@Raggedstar]

+Stefano Sgro Depends. Charles Darwin was going to be a man of the church, and yet he compiled evidence for evolutionary theory (which is the basis of all modern biology and medicine). Gregor Mendel in the same time period was a friar, and he's considered the father of genetics and heredity through his own findings. Funny how things work out sometimes.

[@Tsuyara]

+Raggedstar Evolutionary theory is the basis for modern biology and medicine? I get that it has had quite the impact and that it explains a lot of the observations (in biology), but is it really the basis for it?

[@FNGLHR]

Tsuyara Pretty much, evolution is how we understand the diversity of life. That plays a big role in biology. Also, medicine wouldn't be where it is today without the understanding of germs and viruses devleop and evolve. That bleeds into treatment and how we can better understand what our bodies are capable of. So, pretty much Evolution is a big foundation from which those sciences have evolved over the past century or so.

[@rmsgrey]

+erttheking Yeah, the dude did science - he took an idea, tried to prove it wrong, and when he couldn't he decided it was true.

[@FroMaestro]

+erttheking perhaps it's a twist to you b/c you hear a lot from ppl who skim the worst segment of religious minds and present them as the norm; the intractably stupid norm. As if someone could merit entrance into a prestigious institution but then be ultimately stupid, because religion. Don't let anyone fetishize 'Science!'...it's just basic attentiveness and trial-and-error attempts to seeking clarity. (You'll know the fetishists by their kitschy elevation of 'Observation!' and 'Hypothesis!')

[@wdarkfenix]

+erttheking At that time it was common for the priesthood to be involved in science, It was away to understand god better, by understanding its "creation", religious lunatics are a fairly recent invention haha

[@wdarkfenix]

Hold on buddy, what snow used to disprove science was more science, if you are going to propose a new hypotesis you have not only to solve all the things the old hypotesis already did, plus new things to justify the change. If science just accept everything someone cames out with, we would never have science in the first place. By the way there are no absolute facts on science

[@digitalbrentable]

+erttheking Contrary to the narrative of internet atheists, the Catholic Church has pretty much always been a strong proponent of science and academia. Even despite incidents such as with Gallileo and Copernicus (which were very much matters of politics, more so than theory), the record stands pretty firmly that the Church is a very pro-science institution. During the dark ages, it was the church that documented and kept much of the knowledge and theory from the collapsed classical civilisations. The renaissance and Enlightenment definitely was characterised by a rise in secularism, but paradoxically was also borne on the back of Religiously sponsored educational institutions, which comprised the near totality of those that existed. Think of that for a second - there was a time not that long ago when almost every school and university, was owned and operated by a church, usually the Catholic one, or one of it's 'spin-offs' (I'm looking at you, national protestant churches of North-Western European constitutional monarchies)

+Extra Credits This series is seriously one of the best and most interesting on KZbin. They're so well-written and informative that I really wish that you guys got more recognition :/

[@TheSourSpoon]

+Extra Credits I have read that John Snow did in fact believe it was a "miasma" that brought about the cholera epidemic, and not germs. However he believed that the miasma was in the water (for at least cholera). Now this may be because that Germ Theory wasn't around and he didn't know how to describe it. Im not suggesting he didn't help. The breakthroughs he made lead to the understanding we have today, but I'm pretty sure he didn't mention germs in his reports.

[@MegaBladeBreaker]

[@ChristianNeihart]

[@bplup6419]

Moral of the story: Drink Beer

[@nick012000]

+BP Lup Actually a pretty good idea if you're reduced to living in a pre-industrial city somehow. The alcohol acts as an antibacterial agent and helps decontaminate the water used in its production of germs like cholera.

[@sathra4036]

+nick012000 Probably covers up the taste too.

[@SuperHamsterhuey]

+nick012000 I thought it was the boiling of the water that caused it to be much more sanitary

[@CarbonMage]

+nick012000 Beer doesn't have THAT much alcohol in it; more important is that it's boiled during brewing. So yeah, when in a pre-industrial society, drink beer and tea.

[@sathra4036]

Eric Smith It doesn't need much alcohol to be effective. The other benefit of beer over water is that you can store it and it'll still be drinkable.

[@fds7476]

Funnily enough, _this_ was the reason why the Dutch were widely seen as 'the drunkards of Europe' back then - seeing how the entire country was more or less standing in their own filthy water (for obvious reasons), they had long gotten accustomed to keeping away from their natural water supply and sticking with beer and spirits.

[@aaa1e2r3]

+noukami22 They just didn't die from cholera, their livers on the otherhand....

[@joshuawells8227]

+noukami22 Most water at this time was contaminated, so it wasn't uncommon to use very weak liquor in lieu of water. Not enough alcohol to poison you, but still enough water to hydrate you.

[@Alexaflohr]

The alcohol content of beer isn't really that high. It's high enough to give you a buzz in high amounts, and high enough to kill most water-born pathogens, but people usually only die by alcohol poisoning if they're ingesting high proof beverages and overdo it. People have survived on beer in many times in history, and there are some that still do.

[@Flaris]

+noukami22 Well the important thing is that they didn't die....from cholera.

[@Knoloaify]

+noukami22 All beers don't have the same amount of alcohol. In asian countries like China the amount is usually quite low so they tend to drink a lot of beer. It was the same back in Ancient Egypt, workers would drink beer because it was safer than water and it had a high amount of calories and low alcohol wich made it suitable for hardwork. Of course if you drink nothing but 9° beer, you're just going to get dehydrated.

[@VelmiVelkiZrut]

Fun fact: Cholera outbreaks still occur (in fact, with depressing regularity). However, treatment of Cholera is surprisingly easy: clean water and electrolytes. These outbreaks generally happen whenever local structure breaks down, for example in Moscow during the fall of communism. As the government fell, there was no one to administer to the day to day business of a city, be it maintaining the water supply or taking out the garbage. As such, under these circumstances Cholera can reliably be expected to rear its ugly head even in this day and age.

Im glad that extra history has been able to tell a riveting story of historical figures who weren't commanders or generals in war. I personally would love to see even more stories of more scientists, philosophers, and other influential minds.

I couldn't help but be extremely thankful that history had people like John Snow fighting battles to expand knowledge that ended up saving hundreds of thousands of lives.

Last year, my Modern World History teacher briefly mentioned this, and I was sitting there thinking, "I know about this!" In all seriousness, this was an fascinating series and please make more disease-related ones

What's coming next for the other three episodes?

[@Conflict-ff5pi]

+Sporkaganza well first Jon Snow goes to the Northern wall, where he joins the nights watch...

[@TripleIris]

I wonder how they explained it to that poor woman who's child died that technically, she caused the outbreak by throwing those diapers away.

[@DemagogueBibleStudy]

They probably didn't.

+Griffin Cost Ok, that SHIT (Get it?! I'm a comedic genius!) was pretty damn clever. Well done sir.

"We have good news and bad news. Good news is, we have finally discovered what causes cholera. The bad news is... it was all thanks to your dead child."

This was so much fun to learn about! I honestly think that my favorite things on the Extra channels are Extra History and the Dan-imation over on Extra Play.(Yes that's what I'm calling Dan's episodes on animation and you should too.) Don't get me wrong I love the regular episodes of Extra Credits but those two are the ones I look forward to the most.

Walpole at 5:00 ',:)

I first heard about this was when I was in college, studying Geographic Information Systems (GIS). John Snow was revolutionary not only in determining how cholera spreads, but Snow's map was also one of the first (if not THE first, I don't remember) known instances of someone putting data points on a map to solve a problem. His work became a foundation for the formation of GIS as well as revolutionizing the medical field.

4:57 WALPOLE!!!!

[@mrscrackpot9238]

This gave me chills?? Absolutely amazing though! Love this channel so much

[@Duke_of_Lorraine]

In the next episode, John Snow faces an even stronger version of cholera. Why ? Because winter is coming

[@SimplyDudeFace]

Well done. I loved this series. I've got two names to suggest that I think would make for great investigations: Alan Turing Richard Feynman

[@shyguypro9876]

Love this series precisely because of episodes like this. Don't get me wrong, I love the episodes about epic historical figures like Hannibal, but no where else can you here the stories of unsung heroes like John Snow who really did make the world a better place.
