Anatomy and the circulation of blood
William Harvey
In 1628 he published An Anatomical Account of the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals. In this book he proved that the heart acted like a pump and was responsible for recirculating the blood around the body.
Before Harvey, doctors accepted Galen’s idea that new blood was manufactured by the liver to replace blood that had been burned up by the muscles.
Andreas Versailles
He insisted that his medical students should perform dissections to find out how the human body worked.
A local judge took an interest in Vesalius' work. He allowed Vesalius to use the bodies of executed criminals for dissection. Vesalius was now able make repeated dissections of humans.
The invention of printing meant that medical textbooks, with accurate sketches of the human body, could now be produced more cheaply and this helped ideas to spread rapidly.
The Great Plague
1665-1666
Since no central health care system existed, It caused mass death and suffering (1/4 of London's population died)(aprox. 100 thousand)
Last major Bubonic Plague Epidemic to occur in England.
New weapons, eg gunpowder forced battlefield doctors to think about new ways to treat wounds.
