François Marie Prevost

A physician who practiced medicine on slaves, specifically black mothers. He performed his first Caesarean section between 1822-1825. He practiced medicine in Louisiana in the plantation areas. This contributes to the beginning of medical malpractice in black mothers and how it has developed differently over time.
