Karapet Agadżanian practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.
The record lists Karapet Agadżanian as Psychiatrist (1876-1955).
Karapet Agadżanian was born at Tbilisi in 1876. His recorded nationality is Russia. He trained at First Tiflis Male Gymnasium and S. M. Kirov Military Medical Academy.
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 Warsaw.
Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.
That the work was done from Russia matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Karapet Agadżanian died in 1955, aged 79. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
