The significance of the number three (our society number) is well described in the medical lexicon: indeed from the role of the physician to diagnose, treat and follow up to the classical description of pathologies using triad of signs and symptoms medical professional have always and will forever appreciate the relevance of the quantification of knowledge. It was the initial arbitrary assignment of our group as society #3 that we were able to expand upon and recognize the contributions from one of the medical history’s greatest minds. Rudolf Virchow was a brilliant pathologist, anthropologist, and statesman. He held the first chairs of pathological anatomy at the University of Wurzburg and Berlin and was elected to the Prussian Diet. He coined the terms embolism and thrombosis while disproving the theory that phlebitis was the causal of most disease and in medical schools worldwide his name is used everyday: Virchow’s Triad:--the conditions necessary for potentially dangerous clots to from in blood vessels-has endured as on of medicine’s most clinically relevant and historically reproducible set of pathological circumstances in history.
