Jean-Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard

French botanist, mycologist and physician (1752-1793)

Jean-Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.

The record lists Jean-Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard as French botanist, mycologist and physician (1752-1793).

Jean-Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard was born at Aubepierre-sur-Aube in 1752. His recorded nationality is France.

Hospitals became teaching institutions in this period, and clinical observation began to be recorded systematically.

The recorded fields of work are medicine and botany.

Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.

That the work was done from France matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.

Jean-Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard died in 1793, aged 41. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
