Antonin Poncet

Antonin Poncet (28 March 1849, Saint-Trivier-sur-Moignans, Ain – 16 September 1913) was a French surgeon.

Antonin Poncet

Son of Jean Joseph Poncet and Catherine Jeanne Chabalier, he was inspired by his grandfather Jean-Pierre Antoine Chabalier, surgeon in the Imperial Army.

He studied medicine in Lyon, where he served as interne des hôpitaux. He was a member of the Lyon ambulance corps during the Franco-Prussian War, and in 1878 became a member of the surgical section of the Lyon faculty of medicine. In 1883 he attained the chair of operative medicine in Lyon.

With Louis Léopold Ollier, Poncet is credited for introducing aseptic practices to Hôtel-Dieu. A rare form of polyarthritis that occurs in patients with tuberculous infection is named after him, and is called "Poncet's disease".

Following the assassination of Marie François Sadi Carnot in Lyon on 24 June 1894, Drs. Poncet and Ollier attended to the wounded French president.[1] Today, the Prix Antonin Poncet is a monetary award issued by the Université Claude Bernard for surgical research.

gollark: Anyway, I guess it seems non-impossible given that the reference DFPWM thing doesn't really attempt to model human perception of audio whatsoever.
gollark: I see.
gollark: I guess the bottom one sounds less noisy, but I wasn't blind-testing so who knows.
gollark: You mean you can generate nicer-to-listen-to DFPWM output than the native converter? Weird.
