Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an exhaustive examination of the life and work of M. Groux, a man born with a severe congenital deformity that gave him the appearance of having two bodies. The author traces Groux's life from his birth in France in 1761 to his death in Philadelphia in 1803. The book also provides a detailed account of the medical and scientific investigations that were conducted on Groux's body after his death. These investigations played a significant role in the development of modern medical knowledge about anatomy and physiology, and they also helped to dispel many of the myths and misconceptions that had previously existed about people with physical deformities. The book is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of medicine, science, or disability studies.
