' Conductor Jean Baptiste Lully, 54, was conducting a work he had written to
celebrate the recovery of Louis XlV from a painful surgery. While using a
large staff to beat time, he accidentally stabbed his toe with it. The toe
became gangrenous, but he refused to have it amputated. The infection spread to
his leg and after he refused to have it amputated, he died."
( must have been toe main poisoning?)
