It’s hard to believe, but a century and a half ago, doctors did not know how to provide pain relief during operations, did not know what anesthesia was, did not treat wounds with iodine, and did not apply plaster for fractures. We owe the appearance of all these life-saving remedies to the great surgeon Nikolai Pirogov. A book about his life path, his contribution to science and medical practice will rediscover this wonderful person to the reader.
