[Georges Dieulafoy (1839-1911) and the teaching of medicine in Paris at the hinge of the Second Empire and the Third Republic].

Armand Trousseau's favourite disciple, Georges Dieulafoy (1839-1911), proved a worthy successor to his master. Although he was an obviously proud person, this did not detract from his outstanding medical merit. He was Professor of Pathology at the Faculty of Medicine in Paris and can be regarded as an outstanding exponent of medical teaching, at that phase of transition between the Second Empire and the Third Republic. The work that he left, in particular the "Manuel de Pathologie Interne", are still easy to read today.
