Author Description

Excerpt from Clinical Lectures on Surgery: Delivered at the Hospital of La Charité The lectures of which these are a part were delivered by Professor Gosselin during the first five years following his advancement to the position occupied so long by Velpeau. The surgical service of La Charité, which for more than two hundred years has been connected with medical instruction at Paris, now belongs to the ranking chair of Clinical Surgery in the Ecole de Médecine, and a position in one of its three wards is the prize awarded each year to the student who passes the best examination for the internat. Professor Gosselin himself, after having risen through all the subordinate positions, and having gained each promotion by a competitive examination, stands now, since the death of Velpeau, at the head of the surgical section of the Faculty.
