问题   Rudolf Virchow was among the greatest minds in medicine in the 19th century. As a result of his hard work and determination, great strides were made in the fields of pathological and physiological medicine. Virchow attended Friederich Institute where he studied to become a physician. Throughout his studies, Virchow performed a plethora of research disproving that phlebitis was the cause of most diseases. Once he graduated from Friederich Institute, Virchow went on to study at the University of Berlin where he became a medical doctor in 1843. He was championed as the founder of cellular pathology because of his extensive research that disease is created and reproduced at the cellular level of the body.
  Virchow also took on the role of educator. He was involved in opening a school of nursing in Friederichshain Hospital and designed the new sewer system for the city of Berlin. In 1856, he was appointed as Chair of the Pathological Anatomy Department at the University of Berlin and the new Pathology Institute opened there as well. One of his greatest accomplishments in his career happened in 1874, when he introduced the standardized technique to perform autopsies.
  Virchow was extremely active in his community and had a passion for life-long learning. He was elected to the Berlin City Council for exclusive work in the areas of public health. He reported that the poor housing conditions, declining milk supply and sepsis found throughout the area contributed to the high infant mortality rate in the area. In his opinion the Government was not living up to his expectations of taking care of the people of Germany.
  He had regularly authored articles through his journal, Medicinische Reform, demanding social change from the German government, focusing largely on the idea that the profession of physicians should be unified and that medical education should have more training in clinical medicine related to diagnosis based on physiologic medicine. Basically, he was a forerunner in the field of primary prevention of disease., treating the symptoms before the disease set into the body.
  He campaigned for drastic social reform and had also contributed to the development ,of anthropology as a modern science and in 1869 was a founder of the German Anthropological Society, and the Berlin Society for Anthropology, Ethnology and Prehistory, presiding over this body until he perished in 1902. His studies in anthropology began with the skulls of mentally disabled people often called cretins and what developmental basis for that condition was present in the skull.
  Virchow published many works. He was also editor of the Journal of Ethnology and Virehow’s Archive. Virchow was not only a brilliant physician and researcher but he was a father and husband as well. In 1850 he married Rose Mayer and they became parents of 6 children. Virchow was always busy attempting to better the lives of the Geiman people. Even at the time of his death on September 5, 1902 in Berlin, Virchow was still serving on committees and counsels and working diligently as editor’ of journals in medical education. He was constantly working to provide quality health care to his patients and fighting for their rights with the German Government.
