[Joseph Rollet & the shadow of Ricord]
Abstract:
There are three distinguished names in French venereology during the first half of XIXth century: Ricord, Bassereau and Rollet. Ricord is above all a colourful practitioner of fashionable circles and he takes care of a lot of VIP: political people, actors, writers ... With his influence he takes strong opinions but in fact he has only linked gonorrhoea with veneral ulcers. Joseph Rollet head surgeon in the Antiquaille hospital of Lyon, continuing the studies of Bassereau, proves many basic points about venereal diseases often opposed to the theories of Ricord. So theses two scientists too discret or provincial will remain in the shadow of Ricord.
