Talk:Historical mortality rates of puerperal fever

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Welcome, and table formatting problems

Welcome to this rather specialized page that provides historical data on puerperal or childbed fever, which are deemed too exentive or too specialised to fit in other wiki pages on puerperal fever, Ignaz Semmelweis and an article to come on medical (mal)practices in the 1800s. Puerperal fever is a true horror story (probably one of the best available) of misconceived medical thoughts and poor consciousness and knowledge of epistimology and scientific reasoning, and in terms of Semmelweis, a wasted life.

Although I've found an excellent VBA macro that converts Excel tables to wiki code [[1]] the complexity and peculiarities of wiki table code sucks the life out of me. The tables come out boring at best, sometimes downright ugly - if someone more skilled than I could improve the looks it would be much appreciated. Power.corrupts (talk) 11:00, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
