A man observes that commonly-accepted best-practices have worse outcomes than less socially-esteemed ones.
Two sentences:
Semmelweis discovered that doctors were unintentionally killing their patients. He thought that autopsies were spreading little pieces of death.
Three sentences:
He ruled out all the other possibilities. Washing hands seemed so simple. Unfortunately pride prevented them from accepting it.
Three words:
Oh, the irony!
This really made me think about the story much more than I originally imagined. I also liked trying to use different lengths to show different aspects of the story.
> "This really made me think about the story much more than I originally imagined."
Yeah, the same — to an extent that I suspect that I wouldn't have been able to really believe before I did it. Hmm: maybe this is just a particular version of how you need to teach something to really learn it.
This one was just fun:
There once was a man from Budapest
who compared which ward could do the best.
He compared the physicians
with midwife clinicians.
The doulas saved more lives- who'd have guessed?
