Hôpital Cochin

The Hôpital Cochin is a public hospital situated on Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Jacques, Paris 14e. It houses the main burn treatment centre of the city. The Hôpital Cochin is an affiliate of the Faculté de Médecine Paris-Cité. It is named after Jean-Denis Cochin, curé of the parish of Saint-Jacques-du-Haut-Pas, who founded a hospital for the workers and poor of this quarter of Paris.

History
Early in the morning of 30 May 1832, the mathematician Évariste Galois was shot in the abdomen during a duel at the age of 20 and died the following morning at ten o'clock in the Cochin hospital, probably of peritonitis, after refusing the offices of a priest. He was buried in a common grave in the Montparnasse Cemetery nearby. George Orwell also had a stay at the hospital for a bout of "La Grippe" in March 1929. He describes it in his story "How the Poor Die". ==References==
