«Holy doctor» Feofil Gavrylovych Janovskiy: the thorny path to the heights (To the 90th anniversary from the date of death)

Abstract

Classic domestic clinical medicine academician Theophil Gavrilovich Yanovsky was one of the leaders of the therapeutic elite, established in Russia in the first decades of the XX century. He was famous for his diagnostic skills. So, probably the first of Russian doctors, he put a lifetime diagnosis of pulmonary infarction and described the smell of rotten hay from a patient with tuberculosis and konjunktivalnyj symptom in typhus typhoid. Along with V. P Obraztsov, he created the third scientific center of domestic therapy at the Kiev University of St. Vladimir - after the Military medical Academy in St. Petersburg and the Moscow University. He owns notable scientific works on the problems of bacteriology, tuberculosis, functional diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease, pathology of the digestive system, on improving the methods of direct study of the patient. As an outstanding specialist in resort treatment (at sea, Alpine and local resorts) he was well known not only in Russia but also in Europe. The first of the Soviet clinicians, he was elected academician (in the all-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences). He created a large and bright clinical school; among his students are academicians VN. Ivanov (Kiev), V. H. Vasilenko and B. E. Votchal (Moscow). However, the main reason for the extraordinary popularity of the doctor Was the extremely attractive appearance of this doctor; his life and death became a worthy completion of the national tradition of medical asceticism, the emergence of which is usually associated with the name Of the Moscow “Saint doctor”. The judge of the honor Society of physicians, F. G. Janowski was ready at any time of the day to reliably and free of charge to treat the whole city, and when he died, the whole of Kiev came out to bury him - with white lilies and the funeral service of the Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant and Jewish rites. More so not buried doctors in Russia.
