The essay by O. Taglinoy delicately and correctly prefaces the text of an outstanding personality - N. I. Pirogov. The introduction by Alexander Myasnikov appears to be a foreign body in the publication. We read: "In the history of medicine, our compatriots occupy about the same place as the representatives of all other countries combined!" This thesis eponymous dictionaries do not confirm. We read further: "When Ambroise Pare successfully performed operations on vessels and wrote basic works, in Russia the guardsmen of Ivan the Terrible pulled the veins from people and fed them to dogs." How can you confuse the work of a doctor and the arbitrariness of the executioner? Such an introduction would fit the memories of the old executioner, but not the doctor. Myasnikov writes: "As a graduate of the Pirogov Moscow Medical Institute, I by definition knew his biography well." No, he did not know well. Pirogov did not ascribe to himself the laurels of the American doctor William Morton - the inventor of ether anesthesia (1846) or the Russian doctor F. Inozemtsev who used it for the first time in Russia (1847). For the prelude should find someone more decently.
