Stéphane Bern SEASON 2022 - 20236:00 p.m., January 19, 2023

Historically, yours brings together 3 kings of the scalpel: The "barber-surgeon" Ambroise Paré who gave it his name, and above all knew how to use it to operate on both soldiers in the fields of war and kings.

Then Charles-François Tassy also operated on a king, the Sun King, for “the most annoying and pernicious of all inconveniences”: a fistula!

A surgery from which he gained fame and fortune.

And a self-proclaimed "king of the scalpel", whose failed surgeries have shown just the opposite: the ex-doctor struck off and imprisoned Michel Maure.
