Revision as of 20:27, 15 November 2020 by Rathfelder (talk | contribs) (removed Category:19th-century Hungarian people using HotCat)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Leopold Bettelheim, Template:Lang-yi (Template:Lang-hu; February 23, 1777, Hlohovec – April 9, 1838) was a Hungarian physician.
He was not only eminent in his profession, but was considered a Hebraist of some importance. He lived in Freystädtel, on the Waag, and there held the responsible office of physician-in-ordinary to Count Joseph Erdödy, the influential court chancellor of Hungary, in whose private residence are still preserved the surgical instruments used by Bettelheim in saving the lives of the count and his family, together with documents recording some remarkable cures effected by him.
In 1830 Bettelheim was the recipient of a gold medal of honor from the emperor Francis I for distinguished services to the royal family and to the nobility.
