Dr Gérald Kierzek (Medical Director)
Both educational and artistic, the new book by Dr Gérald Kierzek, medical director of Doctissimo, is a dive into the heart of the famous Deyrolle anatomical charts, highlighted by fascinating anecdotes about his own health. A beautiful book to place at the foot of the tree to satisfy all the curious.
In this high-quality work, find nearly 50 anatomical plates from the famous house Deyrolle detailing the human body from all angles, accompanied by medical explanations accessible to all by Dr. Gérald Kierzek, emergency physician and medical director of Doctissimo . Since November 15, a book full of information on the human body and health in general has arrived at your bookseller. Anatomy lessons, a collaboration between Deyrolle and our medical director, should satisfy lovers of beautiful books and health.
What are these “anatomy lessons”?
Dr Gérald Kierzek: Anatomy lessons is not a doctor’s book! But a book for the general public about education about your health, your body, your first capital! It is a book for all ages, illustrated with fascinating anatomical plates, which responds to our desire and our need to understand the human body and from which everyone can glean information. I am very honored that Deyrolle asked me to participate in this project.
Book of science and art at the same time, was it a desired mix?
Yes, the aim of this book was to fully reproduce period plates, but to recontextualize them, in order to make a real collection of advice and prevention understandable to all to maintain your body, know its symptoms… and also allow to shine in society thanks to unusual anecdotes or information. Page after page, we discover figures, fun facts, the weight of a heart, the number of muscles, why we no longer walk straight when we drink… It is both a book of general knowledge, a science book and an art book.
Who is this book aimed at?
It’s a book that can interest everyone, from 7 to 77 years old as they say. These are real boards but have nothing scary, nothing gory, and can fascinate children. It is also a book for curious adults, of course, a mediation tool to speak the same language as your doctor, or even a medical tool. Even before studying medicine, I myself was fascinated in middle and high school by these anatomical charts from the 19th century, which are essential in scientific education and which have lost none of their relevance and relevance. their quality. This is a work to put in everyone’s hands!
