Karel Rokitanski was born two hundred years ago on February 19, 1804, in the North Bohemian town of Hradec Kralove. At just fifteen, he moved to Prague to study medicine, but re-located to Vienna during his studies, to soon become one of the most recognised pathologists in the world. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/rokitansky.jpg?timestamp=1590650650 https://english.radio.cz/introducing-karel-rokitanski-8086367 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
