Dominique Jean Larrey i Polacy

Jean Dominique Larrey, one of the most eminent surgeons of the turn of 18th and 19th century and the creator of medical emergency aid, often came in contact with Poles serving in the Napoleonic Army. He came to Poland twice, and his actions in January 1807 were an impulse to create first a military, and in 1809, a civilian Medical School in Warsaw. His experiences from the campaign of 1806-1807 were also a reason for two texts that he included in his Memoires. The article is devoted to his connections with Poles and Poland.
