The fact from the introduction that is most likely to be in the conclusion of the article is:
The obstetrician advised doctors to wash their hands.
This is the key takeaway of Semmelweis's message and ties directly to the main focus of the article.
"Ignaz Semmelweis Saved Lives: Wash Your Hands"
by Dr. Howard Markel
On this date in 1850, a prickly Hungarian obstetrician named Ignaz Semmelweis stepped up to the podium of the Vienna Medical Society’s lecture hall. It was a grand and ornately decorated room where some of medicine’s great discoveries were first announced. The evening of May 15 would hardly be different—even if those present (and many more who merely read about it) did not acknowledge Semmelweis’s marvelous discovery for several decades.
What, exactly, was the doctor’s advice to his colleagues on that long ago night? It could be summed up in three little words: wash your hands!
