Christian Georg Schmorl practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.
The record lists Christian Georg Schmorl as German pathologist (1861–1932).
Christian Georg Schmorl was born at Mügeln in 1861. His recorded nationality is Germany. He trained at University of Freiburg and Leipzig University.
Anaesthesia, antisepsis and germ theory arrived within fifty years and made modern surgery possible for the first time.
His posts were held at Leipzig University.
The recorded fields of work are anatomical pathology and pathology.
Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.
That the work was done from Germany matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Christian Georg Schmorl died in 1932, aged 71. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
