Микола Михайлович Амосов народився 6 грудня 1913 року в селі Ольхові Вологодської області. У 1939 році закінчив Архангельський медичний інститут. З 1952 року очолював клініку грудної хірургії Українського інституту туберкульозу та грудної хірургії. З 1982 року директор інституту серцево-судинної хірургії в місті Києві.
Він давно став легендою. Це підтверджує не лише міжнародне визнання його досягнень, а й вибір сучасних українців, які поставили його на друге місце серед видатних українців (М. Амосов поступився лише Ярославу Мудрому).
Саме Микола Амосов одним із перших в СРСР почав проводити операції на серці, першим вшив мітральний клапан із нейлоновими стулками, які були вирізані із сорочки, купленої у США.
На його рахунку тисячі врятованих людей. Згадуючи про його діяльність, в першу чергу говорили про його ставлення до пацієнта: “Ставитись до хворого як до свого родича”.
Амосов був не лише талановитим хірургом та вченим, а й вимогливим керівником – лікарі згадують, що такого суворого аналізу причин смерті пацієнта, як за керівництва М. Амосова, більше не було. Розмови про статистику смертей в інших медичних закладах відкидались: “Не шукайте, де гірше, шукайте, де краще”, закликав Амосов своїх колег. Багато лікарів відверто боялись Миколу Михайловича, а його обходи називали “королівським полюванням.” Однак, звіти лікарів, започатковані ним, тривають й досі – медики стверджують, що це дисциплінує.
Амосов вважав, що не слід поспішати з лікуванням – організм сам може впоратися. А от до народної медицини ставився доволі скептично. Завжди вважав 10 заповідей Бога дуже важливими.
