1.1 Observing Living Things

 * __3.1 Introduction Paragraph__**

150 years ago, surgery was very dangerous because people had a 50% chance of dying right after surgery. This occurs because pathogens were being passed to wounds from the surgeon's hands because they weren't clean from other surgeries. During this time a British surgeon called Joseph Lister had a hypothesis. He thought that if the medical equipment was sterlized to kill the pathogens, maybe the death rate after surgery would be reduced. When doctors tried his suggestion the death rate reduced significantly though many doctors found it ridiculous at first. Today we still follow Lister's guidlines to reduce infections at home and at the hospital.
