I was reading a book about surgery in the 1700's, and I'm always dumbfounded when I read about how unsanitary surgeons were. Even if you didn't know about germ theory, wouldn't it just make sense not to get a bunch of crap into an open wound, to minimize the amount of foreign matter that goes in (e.g., washing hands, cleaning instruments before-hand)? Don't we have an instinctual dislike of filth? Wouldn't you want everything to be a clean as possible...just because?
