Grisolle was a professor at the Paris faculty of medicine and a member of the Académie de Médecine. He was the author of the two-volume "Traité élémentaire et pratique de pathologie interne" (1844).

His name is associated with "Grisolle's sign", an obsolete sign once affiliated with smallpox. It involved feeling the presence of papules when the skin is stretched.

gollark: See, us humans have *amazing* abilities when it comes to ignoring things which don't directly affect us.
gollark: Anyway, you could probably make reasonable ethical arguments that I should be vegan instead of vegetarian, but I don't actually care.
gollark: The better argument, I think, is that you can't go around objectively measuring what we "should" do somehow.
gollark: That's like saying "the fact that some people believe the earth is flat is evidence enough that there is nothing objective about the eath's shape".
gollark: Not really.
