[Dr. Piotr Borsukiewicz--one of the pleiad of physicians in Lublin (the 75th anniversary of his death)].
Seventy years have passed since the death of dr Piotr Borsukiewicz. He spent 9 out of his 22 years of work in Lublin (1909-1918) being the head of the paediatric hospital (1911-1918), the member of the Lublin Medical Society, the president and vice president of some other public service organizations and inscribed himself in letters of gold in the history of medicine and people of Lublin. He worked and lived in the difficult years of two wars (1904-1905 and 1914-1918), the rapid development of medical sciences and the separation of medical specialties. His diligence, loyalty to the Hippocratic code and the instructions of dr W. Biegański as well as to the patriotic dictates resulted in the union of the meaning of his own existence with the deep belief in man and the favourite work as a physician. Helping the poor and those in need he contracted spotted fever but belittled his complaints and died on April 12, 1918 in Lublin. He left us the special patterns of the ideal medical care which are still alive today, so non omnis moriar.
