Theophile Bonet (Boneti), 1620 -1689, was an early pioneer in the study of pathological anatomy He was the third generation in a series of Bonet physicians. His brother Jean also was a physician. He grew up affluent and cultured. He acquired his medical degree in 1643 from the University of Valence, then returned to Geneva. In 1657 he became ordinary physician to Henri II in Neuchatel. In 1666 he returned again to Geneva, and lost his hearing in 1670, whereupon he retired from practice. From 1670 to 1689 he published at least 16 medical books. In this work Bonet proposed a general guide to medical practice for the physician, organized by disease. He also espoused general ethical rules that the physician should observe, both in regard to medical knowledge and in his attitude toward patients. Those recommendations included many professional tactics designed to enhance the image of the physician who must, for example, always offer some remedy in order to answer the patient s expectations, avoid voicing a negative prognosis, and never call on a patient without being invited. Beyond social rules, Bonet listed numerous precaution to be taken for the patient s own good, among them to observe the patient s bad habits; to instruct, rather than to give orders; and never to disclose the nature of remedies give. Overall, his counseling invited physicians to be critical of ancient therapies and certain superstitious practices that experience had proven unsuccessful. Bonet ultimately championed prudence and a critical approach based on learning, experience, and reason. (Dictionary of Medical Biography).
