"Rokitansky rightly may be regarded as the finest anatomical pathologist of his age. It was largely through his influence that the Vienna School reblossomed into world prominence. Although he never practiced medicine, his studies and descriptions of structural changes in disease, based on over 30,000 autopsies performed while he was director of Vienna’s Pathological Institute, had an enormous impact on clinical medicine.. Not without its shortcomings, the work includes Rokitansky's anachronistic humoral disease theory which was criticized by Virchow .. Rokitansky admitted the error and rewrote the entire work." - Heirs of Hyppocrates, #920, citing the first edition (Vienna 1842-46). Fair .
