Biography[edit]
Vojislav Subotić was the son of a Serbian poet and politician Jovan Subotić and wife Savka Subotić, (née Polit-Desančić) philanthropist, feminist and first president of the Serbian Women's Union. His parents lived in Novi Sad, where he was born in 1859. He had three more brothers: Dejan Subotić the lieutenant general of the Russian Imperial Army, Branislav and Ozren, and his sister Verica. He finished primary school in Zagreb, started high school in Sremski Karlovci, and finished in Novi Sad. He began his medical studies in Vienna, which he discontinued at the age of 17 during the Serbian-Turkish War of 1876, as volunteer he participated in the fighting at Drina. He continued his studies in Paris, and was promoted to doctor of medicine at the age of 22 in 1881 in Vienna. [3][4]
As a young, very gifted and ambitious doctor, his wish was to further improve. After graduating, he worked on pathology, anatomy, and then as an aspirant at the Surgical Clinic of Dr. Eduard Albert, a well-known Czech surgeon, who was a professor of surgery in Vienna since 1881. Dr. Albert is known for Albert's suture, which he put into use in digestive surgery.
He practiced in Zemun in 1884, when he was appointed city physicist and primary care physician. At the invitation of the Serbian Sanitation, he opened the first surgical department in Belgrade in 1889 in the then Palilula Hospital.[5][6]
During the war with the Bulgarians and Balkan Wars (1912-1913), he gained many experiences based on injuries from small arms, which caused great tissue destruction. Since he mostly worked as a civilian, and not as a military surgeon in Belgrade, he did not receive many of the seriously wounded who died on the battlefield or soon after the wounding. Working at the Palilula Hospital, until 1907, when he accepted the position of head of the hospital at Vračar General State Hospital, Dr. Subotić tried and succeeded with his energy to correct the neglected hospital conditions to the extent that the hospital became one of the best institutions of the time. He was a strict and authoritative boss. but also good and fair. [7] [8]
In 1906, he was first elected president of the Serbian Medical Association. Dr. Subotić was a participant in the wars of 1912-1918, worked as a civilian and as a military surgeon. In the war with the Bulgarians and the Balkan War, he worked in Belgrade, where the wounded were sent. During the First World War, Subotić was a reserve medical colonel in Belgrade, and later in Niš. Not wanting to be enslaved by the enemy, he evacuated through Albania during the Great Retreat, although his health was difficult due to angina attacks. He went to Paris and London, where he worked (1916-1918) in the International Commission as a Serbian official delegate. In [London], he gave a lecture "On the spotted epidemic in Serbia 1914-1915".
In 1916, he built a device for immobilizing the thigh and presented it at the Paris Academy of Medicine, which is why, among other things, for other important services of our medical service, he was elected a member of the Paris Surgical Society in 1916. Dr. Subotić was one of the first surgeons in the world to apply blood vessel repair instead of ligation. At the beginning of 1918, he returned to Corfu and was assigned to work in Thessaloniki. He asked to work at the front instead and chose to be assigned to the Second Army, whose commander was the duke Stepa Stepanović. Dr. Subotić's experience and his advice helped save many lives. After crossing the Thessaloniki front, together with his students and associates, he worked in the First Field Hospital in Dragomanci.[9]
That hospital was built according to his idea and could serve as part of its surgeons, and after the operation, it received great praise from Duke Stepanović. In addition, Dr. Subotic was an excellent observer, systematic and studious scientist. With his successes in his work and announcements, he gained the voice of an extraordinary war surgeon. He was not accidentally elected a member of the Society of War Surgeons United States and England at the time. [10]
The idea for founding Faculty of Medicine in Belgrade dates back to 1898, when [the [National Assembly of the Kingdom of Serbia]] decided to raise [the [Great School]] in Belgrade to university level. Based on the draft of the commission from the SKA and the Great School, this law was made only by the law from 1905, but the Faculty of Medicine did not start working at that time. However, with the memorandum of the Serbian Medical Association, the then government appointed a commission consisting of: Dr. Milan Jovanovic Batut, Dr. Vojislav Subotic and Dr. George Joanovic, to draft the organization of the future Faculty of Medicine . This action bore fruit in May 1914. The National Assembly of the Kingdom of Serbia made a decision to open the Faculty of Medicine. The First World War hindered the implementation of this plan and only after the end of the war on February 20, 1920, the administrative functioning of the Faculty of Medicine in Belgrade began. [11]
After many years of hard work, Dr. Subotić laid the foundations of the first surgical literature in our country and became the father not only of Serbian surgery, but of all operative medicine. Due to his merits, he was elected full professor of surgery in 1919. Prof. was elected the first dean of the newly established faculty. Dr Milan Jovanović Batut, and the first vice-dean became prof. Dr. Subotić. The following year, in 1921, he was elected dean. His election as dean influenced the revival of all activities of the Faculty of Medicine. At the same time, he founded the First Surgical Clinic, whose first director was himself.[12][13]
For his contribution to medical science and surgical practice, prof. Dr. Vojislav Subotic received the highest awards, decorations and recognitions during his lifetime. In addition to the above, he was a member of the French, German and International Surgical Societies, the Pest Medical Society, as well as a member of the Paris Academy of Medicine. However, his greatest reward was, as he once said, the respect and love of his students. Dr. Vojislav Subotić died in Belgrade in December 1923 at the age of 64. [14] [15]
Works[edit]
In the period 1886-1925, he published a total of 36 professional scientific papers, of which 20 are in domestic professional literature. His first work, "Surgery, Sketches from the Bulgarian-Serbian War" from 1886 in Zagreb, describes the treatment of over 350 wounded with antiseptic methods, which at the time were disputed by conservative doctors at the time, though proven effective in practice.[16]
Family Legacy[edit]
The legacy of the Subotić family was donated to the Museum of the City of Belgrade in 1975. It consists of 56 cases mostly related to Vojislav Subotić, his older brother Dejan Subotić by rank Lieutenant General and the ancestor of the family [[[Jovan Subotić]], Serbian lawyers, philosophers and writers. In 1986, family albums, genealogy and other family documents were donated to the Museum. [17]
Nikola Tesla and Dr. Subotic[edit]
In the 108th letter in the book "Nikola Tesla's Correspondence with Relatives", Marica Kosanović, Nikola Tesla's sister, writes that in the summer of 1912, Dr. Subotić visited Nikola Tesla. Her son Milutin is a doctor of medicine and he went to Serbia with the help of his brothers, because of the war of 1912, and he was received by Dr. Subotic. Subotic told him about his uncle, and Milutin himself was extraordinarily received in Belgrade because of his famous uncle.
