Corrado Tommasi-Crudeli belongs to the medical record as a figure whose work changed what could be treated.
The record lists Corrado Tommasi-Crudeli as Italian physician (1834-1900).
Corrado Tommasi-Crudeli was born at Pieve Santo Stefano in 1834. His recorded nationality is Italy. He trained at University of Pisa.
Anaesthesia, antisepsis and germ theory arrived within fifty years and made modern surgery possible for the first time.
His posts were held at Sapienza University of Rome and University of Pavia.
The recorded fields of work are medicine.
Medicine advances against a moving target, and its successes are counted in lives rather than papers.
That the work was done from Italy matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Corrado Tommasi-Crudeli died in 1900, aged 66. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
