Auguste Nélaton
Description
"Auguste Nélaton suit l'Empereur depuis 1864 et est nommé 'Chirurgien ordinaire' en 1866 et 'Chirurgien Consultant des Maisons Impériales Napoléon' en 1869. Le retrouver ici, c'est partager avec lui les souffrances qu'a connues Napoléon III des années 1860 jusqu'à ce funeste 9 janvier 1873 et partager ses inquiétudes et ainsi prendre conscience des lourdes responsabilités de tout médecin en charge de la santé d'un chef d'Etat. En l'occurrence, comment ne pas s'interroger sur celle de Napoléon III face au contexte politique international à la veille de cette guerre de 1870"--
Auguste Nélaton served the Emperor since 1864 and was named "Ordinary Surgeon" in 1866 and "Surgeon Consultant of the Imperial House of Napoleon" in 1869. Through these positions, he shared the sufferings of Napoleon III during the 1860s up until the fatal 9 January 1873, and thus become aware of the heavy responsibilities of any doctor in charge of the health of a head of state. In this case, how can we not question Napoleon III's attitude towards the international political context on the eve of the war of 1870?
