Konstantin Buteyko practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.
The record lists Konstantin Buteyko as Ukrainian and Russian physician.
Konstantin Buteyko was born at Ivanytsia in 1923. His recorded nationality is Russia. He trained at I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University.
Antibiotics, imaging and the randomised trial defined twentieth-century medicine; evidence replaced authority as the standard.
His posts were held at I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University.
The recorded fields of work are medicine.
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.
Konstantin Buteyko died in 2003, aged 80. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
