Manuel Sans Segarra is remembered in medicine for work that altered practice rather than merely argument.
The record lists Manuel Sans Segarra as Spanish doctor, surgeon and mystic.
Manuel Sans Segarra was born in 1943. His recorded nationality is Spain. He trained at University of Barcelona.
Antibiotics, imaging and the randomised trial defined twentieth-century medicine; evidence replaced authority as the standard.
His posts were held at Hospital de Barcelona and Hospital de Bellvitge.
The recorded fields of work are medicine and near death experience.
Most medical progress is invisible: it shows up as an illness that no longer kills anyone.
That the work was done from Spain matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
