[N.K.Karpinsky--first general-headquarter-doctor].
The article is devoted to biographies of the first head of the Department of Anatomy and Physiology of Petersburg Medical-Surgical Academy Professor Nikon Karpovich Karpinsky (1745-1810). Karpinsky contributed to the development of domestic medicine, especially surgery. His first work "The course of surgical dressings" proved it (1776). Multi-faceted medical services Karpinsky successfully combined with various administrative assignments. In 1791 he was appointed as a member of the Medical Board--the highest government body, ruled the Russian medicine, and after its closure in 1804--the chief scientist of the expedition department in the state medical council and a member of the Medical Council. The apotheosis of his administrative career began in 1805 post-general headquarters, a doctor, who commanded all military medicine of the country.
