Herman Boerhaave (1668±1738) (bottom left) was the foremost clinical teacher in Europe in the 18th century. In addition to his extraordinary clinical perspicacity, he was an astute pharmacologist and served as an inspiration to generations of aspiring physicians who travelled from distant countries to attend his classes in Leiden. Many subsequently became the leaders of medicine in their own countries (clockwise from top left: Cullen, Linnaeus, Haller and van Swieten), the Boerhaave school of thought thus being disseminated throughout Europe. His principles of clinical teaching have survived to this time and remain embodied in the curricula of medical schools throughout the world.

Creating a common historical perspective on anatomy is necessary for humanity to complete its mental and philosophical development. Since the 1600s, the Netherlands has made great contributions to the historical development of the science of anatomy. In addition to the medical conditions encountered in daily life, the science of surgery, which developed thanks to the wars, has glorified the science of anatomy over time. In the 1600s, anatomy theaters in the Netherlands were established under the leadership of surgeons and supported by the administrators. The scientific environment they created made the Netherlands one of the important medical education centers in Europe, like Italy and France. This success can be explained by the fact that the Dutch people placed scientific methods in the new universities they established in parallel with the economic, political, cultural and mental development of the Dutch people. Thus the Netherlands of the 1600s almost created a historical step between today's and medieval faculties. This period of the Netherlands, which, with its progressive climate, created science and art producers who have shaped the world's anatomy and medical education today, should be remembered with its important names and contributions.

1981 m. baigiau Kauno medicinos institutą, buvau paskirtas dirbti chirurgu Respublikinėje Panevėžio ligoninėje. Čia atlikau internatūros kursą, pradėjau chirurgo karjerą, kurią toje pačioje įstaigoje tęsiu iki šiol. Ilgi sėslaus gyvenimo metai suteikė pri­vilegiją sutikti daug šviesių žmonių, dariusių įtaką mano pažiūroms, karjerai, laisvalaikio pomėgiams. Už galimybę pabėgti nuo kasdienių rūpesčių ir malonumą, kurį patiriu kolekcionuodamas pašto ženklus, tariu nuoširdų ačiū savo bičiuliui Aleksandrui Michelsonui, paskatinusiam pasinerti į kolekcionavimo aistrą. Yra tekę skaityti pavienių straipsnių užsienio medicinos spaudoje apie gydytojų pomėgius kolekcionuoti pašto ženklus ir jais iliustruoti vieną ar kitą aprašomą medicinos temą. Panaršius internete, pavyko rasti įdomios medžiagos apie radiologiją, oftalmologiją, odontologiją, urologiją, infekcines ligas, kur tema dėstoma remiantis filateline medžiaga. Vartydamas savo fila­telijos kolekcijos albumus pamačiau, kad pašto ženklai gali papasakoti ir apie koloproktologiją – chirurgijos sritį, kurioje pats darbuojuosi jau kelis dešimtmečius. Išdrįsau paimti plunksną į rankas, kad savo įžvalgas pateikčiau medikų bendruomenei ir visiems, kas domisi medicinos istorija.
