Charcot’s Private Life
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Charcot’s personal life was inseparably linked with his profession. Al though he spent his mornings at the hospital, his private patients came to his home in the afternoon, where Charcot and his family set aside their own family rooms for waiting areas and for examination and consultation. The young Charcot children grew up playing and running through rooms crowded by people with strange atrophies and contortions: “an inferno for neurological suffering, it was also a paradise for children” (Daudet, 1915, p. 19).
