Presentation intro:

Ladies and gentlemen, my dear colleagues It’s a great pleasure to be here and I would like to thank the organisers of the Congress for their invitation, in particular Michel Dagues-Bié. Id’ also like to thank the very lovely Saliah Gana, director of obstetrics at the Samuel Pozzi Hospital in Bergerac, whom I first met last year and who has been of great assistance to me, and Christophe Normand, director of Euromedial Gyneco and maker of the Pozzi forceps; he has been most generous.

 

So …  what is an Australian woman doing here talking about a man often described as ‘the father of French gynaecology’, the first professor of gynaecology in the University of Paris, and dead for almost a century.
