Maurice Bize to Marcel Proust 4 November 1914
(Click on the link above to see this letter and its notes in the Corr-Proust digital edition, including all relevant hyperlinks.)
I the undersigned Doctor of Medicine certify that Monsieur Proust Marcel suffers from very violent, daily asthmatic attacks, along with generalized emphysema. These circumstances have resulted in cardial dilation. Additionally symptoms of renal failure have necessitated a very restricted lacto-vegetarian diet.
For many years Monsieur Proust has been bedridden and in a state of such pronounced physical decline that it would be impossible for him to appear before a Medical Board.
Albi 4 November 1914[1].
Dr Bize
Dr Bize 60 avenue La Bourdonnais currently physician with 35e Territorial (Albi)
