Abstract

The article is devoted to the history of organization and functioning of the section of physician everyday life at the sessions of the Congress of the Society of Russian Physicians in memory of N. I. Pirogov (Pirogov Society). The section, going beyond everyday life and occupational problems, considered issues related to economic and legal status of physicians. The section, having no hope in government assistance, tried to organize public organizations protecting interests and rights of physicians and loan-society as well.
