Life

Raymond was the only child of a farmer. He studied veterinary medicine at the École nationale vétérinaire d'Alfort . After graduating in 1865, he worked for a year at a military school ( Ecole de cavalerie ) in Saumur before teaching anatomy at his alma mater until 1869. Dissatisfied with his opportunities as a veterinarian, he continued to study medicine until 1876, which he completed with a doctorate. His teachers included Alfred Vulpian and Jean-Martin Charcot as assistants .

In 1877 he became chef de clinique and the following year médecin des hôpîtaux at the Paris Hôtel Dieu . In 1880 he became professeur agréré at the medical faculty of the University of Paris . From 1890 to 1893 he worked at the Hôpital Lariboisière .

After the death of Jean Martin Charcot in 1893, the search for a successor to the chair of nervous diseases created especially for Charcot began. Retaining the chair was initially up for grabs because it seemed difficult to find a successor with the reputation of a Charcot. In October 1893, an agreement was reached on Édouard Brissaud as the acting chair holder. Candidates for the final occupation were Brissaud and Raymond as well as Jules Déjerine . Raymond finally prevailed in the vote of the faculty council on March 15, 1894. As the oldest student of Charcot, he was considered a less controversial candidate, while Jules Déjerine was considered a competitor of the deceased. Raymond held the chair at the Hôpital Salpêtrière for 16 years.

In 1895 Raymond became a member of the Académie nationale de médecine , in 1899 he was one of the founding members of the Société de neurologie de Paris . He was the commander of the Legion of Honor .

Fulgence Raymond was married to Louise Rochut (1842–1872) from 1868, after the birth of a daughter the wife died of tuberculosis . In 1887 he married again.
