Philippe-Jean Pelletan (4 May 1747 – 26 September 1829) was a French surgeon born in Paris. Son of a surgeon, Pelletan was a member of the ''Académie Royale de Chirurgie'' and of the ''Académie des Sciences''. He was a professor to the ''Faculté de Médecine de Paris'', and in 1789 elected surgeon of the ''Garde Nationale''. On 13 July 1793, moments after the assassination of Jean-Paul Marat by Charlotte Corday, Pelletan was present at the crime scene. The minutes on the death certificate bear his signature.〔() Napoleon-empire Personnages〕 In 1795 he succeeded Pierre-Joseph Desault (1738–1795) as chief surgeon at the Hôtel-Dieu. Following the death of 10-year-old Louis XVII on 8 June 1795, he was responsible for performing the autopsy. In 1804 Jean-Nicolas Corvisart (1755–1821) had Pelletan appointed consultant-surgeon to the Emperor. While chief surgeon at the Hôtel-Dieu, Pelletan was involved in a case of misdiagnosis that led to the death of a patient. An opportunistic Guillaume Dupuytren (1777–1835) informed the personal physician of Tsar Alexander of the situation, which triggered an investigation into the matter. Because of the mistake, on 6 September 1815, Dupuytren was named as Pelletan's replacement as chief-surgeon at the Hôtel-Dieu.〔() Napoleon-empire Personnages〕 == References == * (Correspondance-famililiale ) (Biographical information) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Philippe-Jean Pelletan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
