| Abstract |
Listening to the interview of Natalia Tomilina is an inspiring experience, and not one reserved purely for young physicians. Within these pages, one can discover Tomilina's determination and passion for learning that has been with her throughout her life, even during difficult and testing times. A great resolve that she developed through the teachings of her parents and her mentor, Prof. Maria Ratner.It is clear that her ties to her cultural roots are strong, allowing her to have a greater understanding of her patients ("the doctor has to understand the patient"), and with this, she has developed a humanist approach to medicine. These great attributes have ensured that Tomilina's contributions to the field of nephrology have been significant - her belief being that her discoveries in medicine belong to the patients and not to the physicians.Those who are older will find the stories of her trials and tribulations in old Russia fascinating, as you rediscover what life was like for a female scientific researcher behind the "Iron Curtain".I think that, regardless of age, the nephrology community would like to join us in paying homage to a great woman, whose life tells us that changing the world is possible."Prosperity is not the main point, and it is not prosperity that gives you satisfaction."The interview was recorded in Prague in June 2011. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 March 2020.
All research outputs
#15,557,505
of 23,881,329 outputs
Outputs from BMC Nephrology
#1,395
of 2,550 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#211,754
of 354,008 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Nephrology
#43
of 69 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,881,329 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,550 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 354,008 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 69 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
