IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM DR. EMIL GHEORGHIŢĂ

Mircea Covic, Mircea Onofriescu

18 Aprilie 2019

In November 2018, Doctor Emil Gheorghiţă died. He was a remarkable physician, a clinic and school founder, a pioneer in the medical world. Moreover, he was a very special person. Everybody loved him – colleagues, patients, relatives and friends – for his ge­ne­ro­sity, talent, culture and personal qualities.

He began his training in obstetrics-gynecology at “Cuza Vodă” Clinical Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Iaşi, under the guidance of the great professor Vasile Dobrovici, who became his mentor and had always been close to him. During the same pe­riod, he became the manager of the same hos­pi­tal, which he reorganized completely and modernized after he was appointed manager.

In 1975, Doctor Emil Gheorghiţă with Professor Gheorghe Teleman founded “Elena Doam­na” Clinical Hospital of Obstetrics and Gy­ne­co­logy, Iaşi, which he professionally co­or­di­na­ted and diligently ran before 1990s. Within this hospital, Doctor Emil Gheorghiţă built, organized and directed the Regional Health Centre for Reproduction and Medical Plan­ning, which soon became a national landmark in the field.

In 1976, he defended his doctoral thesis entitled Visual Disturbances in Puerperality, a topic which had not been dealt with before and which impressed at that time, due to the originality and modernity of his approach. Along his professional medical and organiza­tio­nal activity, Doctor Emil Gheorghiţă found the time to pass his exams of board certified phy­sician and of associate professor. Despite his success, he was unable to occupy the latter po­si­tion because of the freezing of teaching positions in the public tertiary system during that period. His scientific concerns showed not only in the books and monographs he published, but also in the ones he co-authored or in the numerous articles in specialty reviews. Furthermore, he had the initiative of organizing the National Conference “Vasile Dobrovici” Medical Days, an important scientific event that lasted to present day.

As an obstetrics-gynecology medical doctor, he helped thousands of women to see their dream come true and give birth to a healthy infant during his 40 years of practice. He brought smile on the lips of thousands of women who asked his advice and help in health issues; he even saved some of them from what appeared to be certain death.

His love of life and people, his mentor vocation and talent manifested in the way he practiced his profession and in the constant desire to share professional knowledge with all young physicians. Irrespective of the team he worked in, he encouraged an atmosphere of emulation, trust, love of life and dynamism among colleagues. Through the way in which he formed his collaborators and disciples, he obtained their trust and gratefulness. An altruistic spirit who loved life, he always enjoyed to be around friends whom he treasured, loved and helped. His disciples are to follow him and decipher the sacred dimension of the medical act with the same thoroughness.
