Game of Thrones fans, prepare to be disappointed as Kevin Hicks explores the story of an altogether different and far more important John Snow. Dr John Snow made a huge contribution to fighting cholera when he was able to demonstrate a link between cholera and contaminated drinking water in 1854. His actions at the Broad Street Pump in London were instrumental in proving his theories and he basically stopped a cholera epidemic in its tracks.

Dr Snows legacy does live! When I did my first year of nursing one of the first things we covered naturally was infection control, hygiene and investigative nursing and his findings were the opening example to the module, particularly as at the time the NHS were doing a drive towards recognising and diagnosing sepsis. It's amazing how much of "old" medicine still has its place in modern practice, please do more of these Kevin, great job as ever! 🙂

Actually older medical treatments are better than newer ones if you go to the right Dr and recieve the right herbs ect. Basically the eastern part of the world has better medicine from medicines knowledge past down for thousands of years. Much still lost from the blue healing Buhda. But Western part of the world is better with surgery.

Some of the best boots-on-the-ground work I’ve ever read in this story. It’s always amazed me what things we take for granted now we’re such major problems for people living in towns in any period of history; sanitation, water supply, fire, all major problems and solved in some very ingenious ways.

The sewer projects in the aftermath of the 1830 Vienna cholera epidemic and the 1850s Broad Street outbreak were some of the most important developments in public health in the modern era. Reliable sanitation infrastructure has since doubtless saved tens of millions of lives around the world. John Snow out here doing God's work.

That is not the taste that people liked, if it were then why did it take so long for the victims to contract cholera? Kevin is a funny and likeable character but he does like to embellish. Remember a healthy victim who already loved the taste moved away and then contracted cholera from the water she had shipped in.

Thanks for the refresh. On this as a avid history buff since childhood I had been taught about this. But memories fade with age. But your telling of the subject’s are far more entertaining and memorable. I think channel 4 and bbc missed out on a great presenter in yourself. I know your a happy immigrant in Canada but you will always have a home and hearth Back in Blighty. Keep up the great work. I have just applied to my local archery club and asked about teaching disabled they are looking into my stupid illness to see if it’s possible. Thanks to your videos giving me the urge to shoot again. To build some fitness. I had a kids bow for my son and spent many hours in the garden with him growing up. Instead of actually gardening for my old man. Now he’s gone (covid) and I actually enjoy pottering around his garden. When my strength allows. I wish ide listened to him more for his knowledge on the garden. Like you he had a great deal of knowledge. It was him taking me around every castle in north Wales Lancashire and many in Yorkshire ancient burials, that gave me my love of history. DIY so that we could do any job in are own homes. But gardens well that skipped me. Your story’s put down on tape. Are like listening to my old man. But they are truly there to play back And so are extremely important. Thank you.

Where we go, "up the mountains", so to speak, is to a place called Barclay, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. It used to be a booming coal-mining town about the same time as Dr. Snow. USED TO BE - and I can't stress that enough. There was a cholera outbreak, and the cemetery there has headstones that simply read "Baby Mitchell 1856." or "Baby O'Brien 1856". These kids didn't have enough time to be baptized before they were buried beside their parents.

Cholera epidemics plagued London decades before and after John Snow discovered contamination at the Broad St. pump. Large areas of south London were served by two water companies, Southwark and Vauxhall Water Company, and the Lambeth Waterworks Company. Both companies drew water from the River Thames and downstream of a large sewage discharge. In some neighborhoods both company's pipes were connected and many people got sick with cholera. But in 1852 the Lambeth Company moved its water intake up river and away from the sewage, and few people drinking Lambeth water got sick. John Snow wrote about it in "The Grand Experiment". In his book, On the Mode of Communication of Cholera (1855). Vibrio cholerae was discoverd in 1854 but wasn't fully studied until the 1880s. It also spread to the USA and killed many migrants on The Oregon Trail.

Yep. Fascinating. The sad irony is that at the same time, hundreds of British soldiers, and their French allies were dying of cholera, Black Fever, etc in Varna, moderrn Bulgaria- before they even got to the Crimea. There are reports of some dying within hours, & one unfortunate, who arrived on the Tuesday, fell sick on the Wednesday, and was buried on the Thursday. General Orders show they had a rough understanding that water or food was involved, urging the men not eat fruit or vegetables, but they weren`t apparently exactly sure how.

Loving the channel and your enthusiasm for each topic. I love that John Snow pushed back against unscientific/anecdotal medicine and used controlled scientific analysis to trace the origin of the outbreak. He argued it with quantitative and qualitative data. Even the exceptions (e.g. the brewery, the woman out of the area that favored the Broadstreet Pump water) ended up proving the rule that the water was contaminated.
