Revision as of 21:06, 4 October 2005 by MeltBanana (talk | contribs) (recat)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Philippe Ricord (born December 10, 1800 in Baltimore; died 1889) was a French physician.
He studied medicine in Philadelphia, and moved to Paris in 1820, where he worked there as a surgeon, specializing in venereal diseases.
In 1838, he proved John Hunters self-experiment wrong, thus showing that syphilis and gonorrhea are not the same disease.
On October 26, 1869, he was named consulting surgeon to Napoleon III.
He was the brother of Jean Baptiste Ricord. There seems to be a controversy as to wether Alfred Fournier, student of Ricord, was actually his son-in-law (see ).
