Blood transfusions represent a key life-saving practice for the management of hemorrhage in emergency medicine and a commonly performed procedure in hospital settings. The ability to store and utilize the various components of blood, while avoiding adverse reactions and ensuring public health, is due to many historical research advances and refinements in our understanding of the circulatory and immune systems. This article will review the historical development of blood transfusion practices including the initial descriptions of animal-human transfusion, the first implementations in patient care and the translation into a widely used emergency procedure.

This article examines the doctrine of Droit des Patients (patients’ rights) in metropolitan France, outlines the historical development of the doctrine, and places it in its modern context. After discussing the emergence of patients' rights, Professor Leca canvasses the various threads ofreasoning that have contributed to these rights as they are expressed in the 21st century. He covers the development of public health and access to health-care ideas that dominated the area until the20th century, and the modern influences of ideas on the dignity of the person and consumer rights that have contributed to the current legal status of the rights of the patient.
