Jean-Jacques Manget is remembered in medicine for work that altered practice rather than merely argument.
The record lists Jean-Jacques Manget as Genevan writer and physician.
Jean-Jacques Manget was born at Geneva in 1652. His recorded nationality is Republic of Geneva.
The circulation of the blood and the microscope arrived within a generation of each other, and medicine acquired a mechanism.
Most medical progress is invisible: it shows up as an illness that no longer kills anyone.
That the work was done from Republic of Geneva matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Jean-Jacques Manget died in 1742, aged 90. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
