From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marie Colinet (Fabry) (ca. 1560–after 1638) was a midwife and surgeon who introduced the use of heat for dilating and stimulating the uterus during labor. In addition, she performed caesarian sections successfully, and also was the first person to use a magnet to extract a piece of metal from a patient's eye.[1][unreliable source?]
