Friedrich von Müller

German physician (1858-1941)

Friedrich von Müller practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.

The record lists Friedrich von Müller as German physician (1858-1941).

Friedrich von Müller was born at Augsburg in 1858. His recorded nationality is German Reich. He trained at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.

Anaesthesia, antisepsis and germ theory arrived within fifty years and made modern surgery possible for the first time.

His posts were held at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, University of Bonn and University of Basel.

The recorded fields of work are medicine, internal medicine and natural science.

Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.

That the work was done from German Reich matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.

Friedrich von Müller died in 1941, aged 83. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
