Géza Hahn, M. D.: Methodology of studying the connections beetwen nations in the research of medical history. (With special regards to the Russian-Hungarian connections)

Bugát creator of the Hungarian medical professional-language, intended to accept the invitation of the University of Kazany, because the reactionary professors of the University of Pest would not employ him in spite of his scientific work. His intended emigration failed, because he did not get a passport. This appearence of medical connections does not mean somewhat the mutual effect of the medical science of certain countries. The emigrated physicians - though they take with themselves those knowledges, which they gained at the University of their native land, those experiments, which they obtained of the medical life of their former country - subsequently adopt their problems and medical way of looking of their new country and display their medical functioning inspired with this attitude.

In his communications he makes mention of the foundlings home and official workmen's quarters of Moscow as an example, which is to be followed. Personal acquaintances, which were made at international meetings, or at other occasions and were continued through permanent correspondance, delivered chance for productive mutual effect of the medical science of some countries. Such was the personal connection of the classical of Hungarian pediatry: John Bókays with the Russian pediatrists. As result of these connections the children hospital in Moscow, which was projected by Rauchfuss, was taken as an example, when the Stefánia-hospital has been built in Budapest.
