PROFESSOR DR. DUMITRU BAGDASAR (1893-1946) – 75 YEARS AFTER THE FOUNDER OF ROMANIAN NEUROSURGERY
Abstract
Professor Dr. Dumitru Bagdasar is considered to be the founder of Romanian school of neurosurgery. He was born in 1893 in Roșiești, Vaslui, România, in an Armenian countryside family, being the oldest brother. Passionate about knowledge and science, he got the attention of his professor from the beginning of the primary school in Idricii de Sus. He followed his high-school studies in Barlad, and in 1913 he applies for the Medical School in Bucharest. There were many times in his life when because of the lack of material resources, he faces difficulties in carrying on with his medical school. That’s why at the end of his 3rd year he enrolled to the Medico-Military Institute trying to get some financial support (1). Quickly, he was sent to give aid to the military troops during the Second World War. Because of the harsh condition on the military front, he got sick of typhus and went through hardships.
