Sándor Korányi practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.
The record lists Sándor Korányi as Hungarian physician (1866–1944).
Sándor Korányi was born at Pest in 1866. His recorded nationality is Hungary. He trained at Eötvös Loránd University.
Anaesthesia, antisepsis and germ theory arrived within fifty years and made modern surgery possible for the first time.
His posts were held at Eötvös Loránd University.
The recorded fields of work are medicine and internal medicine.
Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.
That the work was done from Hungary matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Sándor Korányi died in 1944, aged 78. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
