Nikolay Sklifosovsky practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.
The record lists Nikolay Sklifosovsky as Russian physiologist (1836–1904).
Nikolay Sklifosovsky was born at Dzerjinscoe in 1836. His recorded nationality is Russia. He trained at Medical faculty of Moscow University and I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University.
Anaesthesia, antisepsis and germ theory arrived within fifty years and made modern surgery possible for the first time.
His posts were held at Imperial University of St. Vladimir, Imperial Academy of Medical Surgery and Imperial Moscow University.
The recorded fields of work are surgery.
Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.
Recognition followed: Order of St. Vladimir, 1st class.
That the work was done from Russia matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Nikolay Sklifosovsky died in 1904, aged 68. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
