Johann Nepomuk Fischer

Johann Nepomuk Fischer (29 May 1777, Rumburk – 17 October 1847, Prague) was an Austrian ophthalmologist. He is considered to be the founder of modern ophthalmology in Bohemia.

Johann Nepomuk Fischer

He studied medicine at the University of Vienna as a student of Georg Joseph Beer.[1] In 1806 he received his doctorate in medicine,[2] and several years later, was named head of the newly founded eye clinic in Prague (1814). In 1830 he attained the chair of ophthalmology at the University of Prague.[3] Among his better known students was Carl Ferdinand von Arlt.[4]

gollark: (not actually assembly, not actually implemented yet, does not support negative numbers, 64KiB of memory only)
gollark: Program it yourself... IN POTATOASM™!
gollark: Hmm, this probably could be made TC if I have some mechanism for having different "processes" with different registers/memory space communicate.
gollark: I could probably have it share code with a disassembler, too, although even the ISA-as-currently-implemented allows a bunch of obfuscatory tricks.
gollark: I'm considering implementing the assembler in JS or Python or Rust or something, but it *would* be nice to have this available from within potatOS.
