His interest in cinematography and photography and his pioneer use of this media to document his work and to spread knowledge is legendary. He was a controversial personality with extraordinary views about medicine and life alike. His magisterial "Traité de thérapeutique chirurgicale et de technique opératoire" was translated to English as "Surgical Therapeutics and Operative Technique", (New York, William Wood, 1917-20). The English work appeared in 3 volumes and was prepared by Doyen himself in collaboration with H. Spencer-Browne. A wonderful set of a mammoth work in excellent state of preservation.
