Abstract
In the pleiad of the great
names from the Golden Age of the Arabian medicine:
at-Taberi, ar-Razi, al-Magusi, al-Baitar, al-Zahrawi, ibn-Sina, ibn-Haitam,
ibn-Zuhr, ibn-Rushd, ibn-Nefis the important place belongs to the
physicians-practitioners--many of the applied methods by the Arabian doctors
were forerunners of the contemporary diagnostic or therapeutical methods. Later
the methods were modernized by the great surgeons Ambroise Pare, Agnew, Hunter,
Warren, Billroth, Mayo et al. No doubts, the methods and instruments of that
time were primitive and the possibilities for research work, difficult. Because
of this reason a respect should be given to those great man in the history of medicine.
