Tivadar Tulassay

Hungarian physician

In the history of medicine, Tivadar Tulassay is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Tivadar Tulassay as Hungarian physician.

Tivadar Tulassay was born at Galanta in 1949. His recorded nationality is Hungary. He trained at Semmelweis University.

Antibiotics, imaging and the randomised trial defined twentieth-century medicine; evidence replaced authority as the standard.

The recorded fields of work are nephrology and pediatrics.

The test of medical work is whether practice changed, not whether the argument was elegant.

That the work was done from Hungary matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
