József Rácz practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.
The record lists József Rácz as 1957- Hungarian physician, psychiatrist, psychotherapist.
József Rácz was born at Budapest in 1957. His recorded nationality is Hungary. He trained at Semmelweis University and University of Pécs.
Antibiotics, imaging and the randomised trial defined twentieth-century medicine; evidence replaced authority as the standard.
His posts were held at Eötvös Loránd University and Semmelweis University.
Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.
That the work was done from Hungary matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
József Rácz is still working, and the assessment of the contribution is not yet complete.
