3 people that made a big impact: Harvey, Sydenham and Vesalius
-
Sydenham: came up with the treatment of chicken, wine and rest rather than making people believe in bizarre and harmful treatments
Harvey: discovered the heart pumps blood around the body and is one way rather than believing it had holes throughout the middle
-
Vesalius was the first scientist to dissect a human body and learn and spread honest ideas and teachings through dissecting. However, Galen was the original mastermind of dissection however, performed his on pigs
Galen and Hippocrates were seen as the original important influences because they were part of the Ancient Roman and Greeks and people believed their ideas were fairly logical and accurate
-
Anton van Leeuwenhoek: discovered bacteria in 1683, using a single-lens microscope, but no one realised their significance, or that they caused disease
Progress didn't run along as much as it should've done as the church were in control of everything everyone was taught and made to believe and they lived in fear of people believing in anything else other than God
The church backed up Galen and Hippocrates' ideas as they didn't question the views of the church and answered all of the questions the public had
William Harvey's idea around the heart pumping blood one way through the body was when he saw a red London water pump in the streets
-
4 humors consisted of yellow bile, black pile, red bile and phlegm
Barbour Surgeons: leeched humans if they believed to have too much blood or if felt the need, would make you be sick. As well as these practices the barbour surgeons did also cut peoples hair
