The Austrian physician Ernst Jeger born in 1884 got an all-round training in internal medicine, physiology and surgery (Vienna, London, Berlin, Breslau).

He did a lot of experimental work in this field, visited Alexis Carrel at the Rockefeller Institute (New York) in 1912 and published a comprehensive and even today astonishing book, entitled "Surgery of Vessels and Heart" (1913). At the beginning of World War I Jeger was called up and became a military surgeon. He was taken prisoner and died from typhoid fever in August 1915.

When in 1910 F. Sauerbruch became head of the Surgical Dept. of Zurich-University (Switzerland) he took over a young promising surgeon from his predecessor: E. D. Schumacher. Soon Schumacher became a close and well accepted coworker of the head of the Dept, thus beginning an extraordinary career as an outstanding thoracic surgeon. But it was as early as at an age of 34 years that he fell victim of tuberculosis, a disease he himself had tried to conquer.
