Regina Salomea Rusiecka was married at the age of fourteen to the oculist Jakub Halpir, who took his young wife to Constantinople (Istanbul) where he had a thriving practice. There she studied medicine and assisted her husband, eventually becoming a successful oculist herself. She traveled extensively, to Saint Petersburg, Vienna, across Silesia and the Balkans, practicing medicine in a number of Turkish, Polish, and Austrian towns.
