Noël Martin Joseph de Necker practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.
The record lists Noël Martin Joseph de Necker as Belgian physician and botanist (1730-1793).
Noël Martin Joseph de Necker was born at Lille in 1730. His recorded nationality is France. He trained at University of Douai.
Hospitals became teaching institutions in this period, and clinical observation began to be recorded systematically.
The recorded fields of work are 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.
Noël Martin Joseph de Necker died in 1793, aged 63. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
