Jean Noël Hallé

French physician

Jean Noël Hallé practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.

The record lists Jean Noël Hallé as French physician.

Jean Noël Hallé was born at Paris in 1754. His recorded nationality is France.

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

His posts were held at Collège de France and Paris Medical Faculty.

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 Noël Hallé died in 1822, aged 68. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
