He was a French barber surgeon who served kings. He invented several surgical tools and, more importantly, tested some of the common practices in managing wounds on the battlefield. Cauterization with boiling oil was common but he also tried using an old Roman technique of using oil of roses, egg white, and turpentine on some of the soldiers. Surprisingly, the Roman technique aided in less pain and quicker healing than the other technique. He was known for his skills in forensic pathology and other medical thinking.
