The paper is the first wider biographic study presentif life and activity of François Girardot (1773-1831), a French physician, a surgeon of Polish light-cavalrymen regiment of Napoleon I guard for many years; since 1816 permanently domiciled in the Congress Kingdom of Poland, in Warsaw and Opinogóra, as a family doctor of Krasińskis family. There are his relations with Poland recalled, started in 1798 already, there are shown some famous patients of Girardot - Klementyna Hoffman of Tańskis, Zygmunt Krasiński and Fryderyk Chopin. There is also the attention drawn to his medical activity among poor population of Warsaw. The fact is underlined, that Girardot as the only physician was made by Napoleon the baron of Empire at the battle field (Craonne, 7th March, 1814), directly after injury, the effect of which there was an amputation of leg. It is also indicated, that despite unquestionable military merits, confirmed by numerous awards and the title of baron granted, and also medical merits of Girardot, he is still remaining a personage not well known to the historians of Napoleonic period.
本文是对弗朗索瓦·吉拉尔多（1773 - 1831）生平与活动的首次更广泛的传记研究。他是一名法国医生，曾多年担任拿破仑一世近卫军波兰轻骑兵团的外科医生；自1816年起，他永久定居在波兰王国，在华沙和奥皮诺戈拉，担任克拉辛斯基家族的家庭医生。文中回顾了他自1798年起与波兰的渊源，介绍了吉拉尔多的一些著名病人——坦斯基的克莱门蒂娜·霍夫曼、齐格蒙特·克拉辛斯基和弗里德里克·肖邦。同时，文中还关注了他在华沙贫困人口中的医疗活动。文中强调了这样一个事实，即吉拉尔多是拿破仑在战场上（1814年3月7日，克拉奥讷）仅有的一位在受伤后直接被封为帝国男爵的医生，那次受伤导致他的腿被截肢。文中还指出，尽管吉拉尔多有着无可争议的军事功绩，这从他获得的众多奖项和被授予的男爵头衔得到证实，同时他也有医学功绩，但他在拿破仑时期的历史学家中仍然是一个不太知名的人物。
