Unquestionably one of the greatest surgeons of the Renaissance was Ambroise Paré. He was born in Laval in 1509, and apprenticed at 13 years to a barber-surgeon. At 19, he became a "resident dresser" (i.e. resident surgeon) at the Paris Hotel Dieu, one of the finest teaching hospitals in Europe. His physique was rather robust. He loved a good story, and was very benevolent. Paré joined the French Army and his skill and compassion in treating the soldier's maladies and wounds made him loved by these warriors. He soon became famous in the French Court. So famous was he, that when captured and about to be executed, an enemy officer recognized this soldier's doctor and spared his life. While a young surgeon in the army of Francis II, he wrote a treatise on the "TREATMENT OF GUNSHOT WOUNDS" which became so popular that it was translated from French into Dutch, Italian, English, German, Spanish, and Japanese.
