Efim Ivanovich Andreevsky is known for the fact that it was he who treated A.S. Pushkin after a fatal duel and, according to the testimonies of A.I. Turgenev and V.I. Dal , closed his eyes to him. Andreevsky was called as a specialist in peritonitis , which in Europe at that time was considered incurable, but which E.I. Andreevsky, according to his surviving works, was successfully cured. In this case, Andreevsky did not consider surgery indicated.
