Dr. John Snow, an obstetrician with a keen interest in medical science, discusses his theory on cholera. He explains that cholera is a deadly disease affecting the intestines, causing symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea. During the 19th century, cholera claimed many lives in Britain. Snow proposed that contaminated water, not miasma or bad air, was the cause. Despite facing opposition from the medical community, he was determined to prove his theory.
