Health And The People2
Renaissance
Vesalius
Found Galen had made
300+ mistakes
Encouraged his students to
disect themselves rather than
accepting books
Wrote the book
Fabrica
(Fabric of the human body)
Short Term Impact: Few accepted his ideas
but some did question Galen.
Long Term Impact: The knowledge on anatomy he shared was vital.
But
he did not end any of the three problems
Harvey
Proved that heart pumps blood around the body
The Liver doesn't produce blood
Valves make sure blood travels in
one direction
Short Term Impact: He Could not exaplin everything (Paris Uni didn't teach his ideas for 50 years)
Long Term Impact: His ideas were eventually accepted and were very importsnt for lots of fields.
(Blood transfusions, Anaesthetics etc)
Pare
Gunshot wounds were cauterised
with boiling oil
After running out he found a lotion of
rose oil, egg yolks and turpentine
worked better
This didnt inflame wounds and stopped infection
He also used Ligatures (tieing up arteries)
It was slow (53 in a thigh) could infect the patient
Pare made prosthetics some
could even hold swords
