Articles by F. Ben Bouallègue
Doctor Fayçal Ben Bouallègue passed away on this sad Monday, May 13, 2019, leaving the entire Nuclear Medicine Department at Montpellier University Hospital in shock and dismay. He had been a university hospital assistant for two years, and was due to be appointed MCU-PH in September. Fayçal Ben Bouallègue had joined the Montpellier University Hospital's nuclear medicine team during his Master's course in mathematics. He stayed with the team for the rest of his life, completing a thesis in mathematics applied to positron emission tomography, and then enrolling in the Faculty of Medicine, where he completed a full course of study up to the internship in nuclear medicine and the assistantship. Anyone who had the pleasure and honor of knowing him and working with him will tell you what an extraordinary individual he was. Fayçal Ben Bouallègue was unusual for his dazzling intelligence, but also for his sensitivity to others and his delicacy, which gave him an indefinable charm and made him one of the essential elements in the harmony of a team into which he had so naturally integrated himself. Fayçal Ben Bouallègue was deeply involved in the development of our discipline in its most varied aspects (cardiology, neurology, oncology, imaging, etc.), and had become a teacher who was justly appreciated and loved by his students, and a rigorous nuclear medicine physician who cared for the patients entrusted to him. Last but not least, he was a complete humanist, a talented music lover, an artist in his own time, and unable not to be interested in everything human. His untimely departure is an immense loss for our university hospital discipline, for the Department of Nuclear Medicine at Montpellier University Hospital, for all those who came into contact with him, and for his closest friends and relatives. May he rest in peace, surrounded by the righteous.
