«Comment le roi guérit de sa fistule» is the historical-medical essay by Augustin Cabanès, published by Vuibert in paperback (272 pages, in French).
With the courtly alarm over Louis XIV's fistula as a starting point, Dr. Cabanès reviews famous cases in French medical history: Calvin's secret illness, Gambetta's enucleation, and Napoleon III's death. A physician and historian, he turns the ailments of famous figures into popular history.
Subtitled «et autres indiscrétions d'un médecin de l'histoire», the book is introduced by Dr. Philippe Charlier.
With its dual historical and scientific approach, it is aimed at those who enjoy popular science and the history of medicine.
