Josef from Škoda
Josef Škoda (also Josef Skoda ) or Joseph Ritter von Škoda (born December 10, 1805 in Pilsen , † June 13, 1881 in Vienna ) was a Bohemian-Austrian physician and internal clinician.
Life
Škoda was the second son of a locksmith. From 1825 he studied medicine at the University of Vienna , like his brother Franz . He also took the subjects of mathematics and physics. In 1831 he received his doctorate from the Medical Faculty in Vienna.
Škoda further developed the investigation methods of percussion and auscultation and researched their physical principles.
In 1846 he became professor of pathology at the Medical Faculty of the University of Vienna .
With the founding of the Younger or Second Vienna Medical School, Karl Freiherr von Rokitansky , Škoda and the dermatologist Ferdinand von Hebra initiated a paradigm shift that led medicine based on natural philosophy to modern, scientifically oriented medicine. With the specialization of medicine, combined with the development of new disciplines, "Viennese doctors" achieved world renown.
With the help of Škoda's refined investigation methods, the understanding of diseases also changed, away from the ontological understanding that was still prevalent in the middle of the 19th century towards the process character of individual diseases. In 1856 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina .
Joseph Škoda was an uncle of the industrialist Emil von Škoda .
