This saint is also known as St Luke of Simferopol (might make searches easier). He was not only a monk (later consecrated as bishop in 1946), but also a professor of surgery (his name in the world was Valentin Voino-Yassenetsky), specialising in trauma surgery. He wrote many scientific papers, and developed a number of surgical techniques in his field. Truly an amazing saint, and yet more proof that saints can arise from our modern world, and that science and faith are not mutually exclusive.
