Two doctors I met in Paris

Not in person, as both are rather historical, but when in Paris, I encountered:

Dr Alphonse Laveran

and

Dr Paul Gachet

Dr Laveran has a square named after him, adjacent to the Ecole de Val de Grace, a school of military medicine, where he worked after serving in the army as a physician, and where his father had held the same post.    Paris is good at telling you who a street is named after, so the street sign tells you he was the first French winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology.   He won it for identifying both malaria and sleeping sickness as caused by parasites.

Dr Gachet has a portrait in the Musee d'Orsay.   The portrait is by Vincent van Gogh, who he cared for towards the end of van Gogh's life.   Gachet was supportive of artists, and was an amateur one himself.

To find articles about these gentlemen in (the new) PubMed, search for

laveran a[Subject - Personal Name]

gachet p[Subject - Personal Name]

For some reason which I will investigate, Gachet's search finds 17 in Legacy PubMed and ony 4 in the new one....
