Unmasking Cholera | John Snow & the Broad Street Pump

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.
