Our purpose was to write a biography of Stanisław Ostrowski that would address in the first place the medical aspect of his professional life, with a comprehensive approach of others fields of his activity.
We essentially grounded the paper on primary resources that were papers authored by Ostrowski including his scientific publications, memories, speeches as well as contemporaneous official documents that referred to Ostrowski. Second resources were also used to double check some data from primary resources and to place the biography of Stanisław Ostrowski in a proper background with special care to social, professional and political context. In this study, second resources comprised papers, that were prepared after the death of Stanisław Ostrowski.
Stanisław Ostrowski, MD was a meticulous military medical doctor with an academic engagement at the King John Casimir University of Lvov. In addition, he was an excellent organizer, who soon got involved in politics to serve the local community with essential projects in public health particularly anti-tuberculosis campaigns in Lvov district. His quiet and proficient nature made him an ideal statesman with incredible skills to reconcile social, national and political enemies. Ostrowski was elected a member of parliament three times. He also held the position of President of the city of Lvov until World War Two. During the war, he was imprisoned and deported to Siberia, Soviet Union, in years 1939-1941. Subsequently he fought against Nazi Germans in the Polish II Corps. Ostrowski survived the war providing medical service in the various military units. Afterwards, he ran his medical practice in the UK. Stanisław Ostrowski was the only dermatologist who became a state president. He held an office of state president of the Polish Republic on exile in London.
His life is not a simple story, but a great lesson that provides clear guidelines how to find a stable ground for lifetime being a medical doctor in the turbulent times of the 20th century even during wartime.
我们的目的是撰写一部斯坦尼斯瓦夫·奥斯特罗夫斯基的传记，首先要阐述其职业生涯中的医学方面，并全面介绍他在其他活动领域的情况。
我们主要依据的原始资料是奥斯特罗夫斯基撰写的论文，包括他的科学出版物、回忆录、演讲以及同时期提及他的官方文件。二手资料也被用于核实原始资料中的一些数据，并将斯坦尼斯瓦夫·奥斯特罗夫斯基的传记置于适当的背景中，特别关注社会、职业和政治背景。在本研究中，二手资料包括斯坦尼斯瓦夫·奥斯特罗夫斯基去世后撰写的论文。
医学博士斯坦尼斯瓦夫·奥斯特罗夫斯基是一位一丝不苟的军医，在利沃夫的约翰·卡西米尔国王大学从事学术工作。此外，他还是一位出色的组织者，很快就投身政治，通过开展公共卫生领域的重要项目，尤其是利沃夫地区的抗结核病运动，为当地社区服务。他安静且精通业务的性格使他成为一位理想的政治家，具备不可思议的调和社会、民族和政治敌人的能力。奥斯特罗夫斯基三次当选为议员。他还担任利沃夫市市长直至第二次世界大战。战争期间，他于1939年至1941年被囚禁并被驱逐到苏联西伯利亚。随后，他在波兰第二军团与纳粹德国作战。奥斯特罗夫斯基在战争中幸存下来，并在各个军事单位提供医疗服务。战后，他在英国行医。斯坦尼斯瓦夫·奥斯特罗夫斯基是唯一一位成为国家总统的皮肤科医生。他在流亡伦敦期间担任波兰共和国流亡政府总统。
他的一生并非简单的故事，而是一堂伟大的课，为如何在20世纪动荡时期，甚至在战时，作为一名医生找到稳固的立足之地提供了明确的指引。
