Although we found this in Lesage's Le Diable boiteux : "Sur une de ses ailes sont peint la guerre, la peste, la famine, le naufrage, l'incendie, avec les autres accidents funestes qui lui fournissent à chaque instant une nouvelle proie; et l'on voit sur l'autre aile de jeunes médecins qui se font recevoir docteurs, en présence de la mort, qui leur donne le bonnet, après leur avoir fait jurer qu'ils n'exerceront jamais la médecine autrement qu'on la pratique aujourd'hui." .
