Hamilton used same pistols and doctor in duel that killed his son

What was said

"Hosac had been on hand at the jewel on the New Jersey side of the river where Philip Hamilton had been killed. And I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll have the duel in the same place where my son was killed. I'll have the same doctor. What could possibly go wrong?"

Alexander Hamilton made the bizarre decision to fight his fatal duel with Aaron Burr using possibly the same pistols his son Philip had used when he was killed in a duel three years earlier, and definitely employed the same doctor who had attended Philip's duel. Hamilton's son had died in 1801 after Hamilton advised him to deliberately miss his opponent, yet Hamilton chose to follow the same doomed strategy in 1804.
