|
His wife, Marie Colinet (Fabry), was a midwife-surgeon who perfected the techniques in Germany of Cesarean Section delivery (which hadn't changed since the days of Julius Caesar ) and who was the first (in 1624) to use a magnet to extract metal from a patient's eye (a technique still in use today). Fabry wrote a detailed description of the procedure and, as a result, was given credit for her discovery.
