The distinctions awarded to Max Darkosadze, and what they were given for
Max Darkosadze keeps the medals in a drawer, which is either modesty or filing, depending on who is telling the story. The record itself matters, because awards are one of the few public statements a profession makes about what it values.
Awards are one of the few public statements a profession makes about what it values, which is the only reason the record is here at all. It is reproduced below as it can be documented, and no further.
What recognition means
There is deliberately no list of awards on this page. The recognition Max Darkosadze counts shows up elsewhere: in a patient who comes back years later; in a student who now teaches; in someone who asks, after a lecture, the question you do not have an answer ready for.
Verified entries — dates, bodies, wording — are added to the press kit when they can be checked. Until then nothing extra is written here.
What he says about them
An award is a receipt. It tells you that something was delivered. It does not tell you whether anyone is still using it.

Colleagues note that Mr. Max attends the ceremonies anyway, and always brings students.
