Robert Bárány 1876-1936 was born in Vienna.He specialized to become a ear,nose and throat specialist. He researched the vestibular apparatus in the inner ear.For that he was rewarded,as the first Austrian, the Nobel Prize for Medicine of 1914.Due to the outbreak of WW I,the awarding ceremony was moved to 1915. However at the time Bárány was a P.O.W. in camp in Russia.Prince Carl of Sweden mediated his release and Bárány
could collect the prize in 1916. Back in Vienna he had to fight the jealousy of many of his colleagues,mixed with anti-semitic hostilties. So he he gladly took his chance,going to Uppsala in Sweden,when he was offered a professorship at the uninversity. There he lived the remaining years of his life.

"JeffS This portrait of Schweitzer looks more like Geraldo Rivero (US news personality) having a bad morning."
Thanks JeffS for your comment, I thought the same thing the moment I saw it. I'm sure Albert's getting a kick out of it too... Did you see the episode where Geraldo filmed the opening of Al Capones hidden vault? 2 hours of pure nothing.... too funny...

Not a doctor, but an entertainer who made a major contribution to medicine: Here’s a 2012 USPS issue (Sc 4628) honoring Danny Thomas, the 1950s comedian who is probably better known today for using his successful career to found St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, which has provided care for millions of kids completely free of charge. (Sadly, that’s a rarity in the U.S. healthcare system.) The hospital is located in Memphis, Tennessee, and pictured behind Thomas on the stamp. As it happens, I also recently received a colorful advertising cover with a fundraising appeal for St. Jude’s. I think I’ll try and put these together on an album page.

Rudolf Virchow (1821 - 1902) Issued Jan.24th,1953. (from a set of 10)
Issued Sept.1952. (from a definitive set of 15,watermarked "DDR and posthorn")
There is also a 25 Pfg.value,what I do not own. The set,then of 16 values,was issued before in 1948 (before the GDR was established),watermarked "multiple flowers".
Issued Nov.4th,1960. (from a set of 5)
Issued Oct.13th,1971.
Rudolf Virchow was a extraordinary man,expert in different fields: he was the leading pathologist of his time,an anatomist, but also an anthropologist,(prae-) historian and prominent politician. As a decades-long member of the Berlin city-council,the prussian parliament and the Reichstag,he was a fierce opponent of Bismarck. When he once had attacked (vocally) Bismarck in a personal manner in parliament,Bismarck challenged him for a duel. Virchow answered: "I do not consider a duel as a timely form of discussion". Many achievements,like the modern sewage-system of Berlin or the trichina-inspection were invented on his proposals.
He was a free-thinker,but accepted the believe in god(s) as part of the human existence. In parliament he denied to have ever said,the most famous of his quotations: "I have dissected thousands of corpses,but never found a trace of the soul".

Emil von Behring (1854 - 1917),serologist (tetanus and diphteria),received the first Nobel-Prize for Medicine (1901)
Paul Ehrlich (1854 - 1917) inventor of the chemo-therapeutics (Nobel-Prize 1908)
Both worked together for a while as assitents of Robert Koch,but later fell out with each other. As they were born only one day apart,both were commemorated together on the two lower stamps.
Upper stamps issued Nov.20th,1940, (50 years diphteria-serum)
midlle March 13th,1954, (100th birth anniversary)
lower March 11th,2004. (150th birth-anniversary)
