Miklós Réthelyi practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.
The record lists Miklós Réthelyi as Hungarian physician and politician, former Minister of National Resources.
Miklós Réthelyi was born at Zalaegerszeg in 1939. His recorded nationality is Hungary. He trained at Medical University of Pécs.
Antibiotics, imaging and the randomised trial defined twentieth-century medicine; evidence replaced authority as the standard.
The recorded fields of work are medicine.
Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.
Recognition followed: Szent-Györgyi Albert Prize (2004) and Commander with Star of the Order of Merit of Hungary (2019).
That the work was done from Hungary matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
