In the history of medicine, Johann von Dumreicher is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Johann von Dumreicher as Austrian surgeon (1815–1880).
Johann von Dumreicher was born at Trieste in 1815. He trained at University of Vienna.
Anaesthesia, antisepsis and germ theory arrived within fifty years and made modern surgery possible for the first time.
His posts were held at University of Vienna.
The test of medical work is whether practice changed, not whether the argument was elegant.
Johann von Dumreicher died in 1880, aged 65. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
