Starting conditions
Technological progress creates for a person not only a comfortable environment, but also additional dangers. Every day, in traffic accidents, people get severe injuries. In order to save the victims and return them to normal life, there are surgical and trauma departments in hospitals. Alexander Sergeyevich Ermolov for many years headed the famous Sklifosofsky Research Institute of Emergency Medicine. On his account hundreds of successfully completed operations. Over many years of work, he raised dozens of students who work in different parts of the country.
The future surgeon and administrator was born on May 18, 1934 in a family of hereditary doctors. Parents at that time lived in Moscow. Father led a reception in one of the city polyclinics. Mother worked as a procedural sister in a children's hospital. A child from young nails absorbed the special terms that sounded in the house. It is not surprising that after the tenth grade, in 1951, Alexander decided to get a specialized education at the pediatric faculty of the 2nd Pirogov Medical Institute.
Professional activity
In his student years, Ermolov, like many classmates, worked as an ambulance for ambulance. He had to travel to various technological accidents and provide assistance to injured people. It was during this period that he was fascinated by the work of the surgeon. Having received a diploma in 1957, the young specialist left for the North, in the mining town of Vorkuta. I had to work in the surgical department of the Central City Hospital. Alexander saw with his own eyes how colleagues live in the province and what kind of stress they have to experience. The experience gained here was useful in the further career of a trauma surgeon.
Returning to the capital, Ermolov worked for several years as a surgeon in city hospitals. In 1962 he moved as an assistant to the Department of General Surgery at his native institute and took up scientific activities. He operated a lot. He lectured to students. In 1966 he defended his thesis. In his works, Alexander Sergeyevich paid special attention to victims with “combined” injuries, when several organs were damaged simultaneously in a person. He was able to significantly increase the survival of such patients.
