 * ANDREAS VESALIUS

December 31, 1514 - October 15, 1564 He was born in Brussels, Belgium and studied medicine in France. Vesalius is famous for his detailed book of drawings of human anatomy, called "De Humani Corporis Fabrica" which means "On the Fabric of the Human Body". It was an important book that had over 200 drawings of the internal parts of the human body. The previous books by Galen were incorrect. Vesalius was the first one to see that these drawings were important to help with surgery and medicine.**

// “I will pass over the other arts in silence and direct my words for a while to that which is responsible for the health of mankind; certainly of all the arts that human genius has discovered, this is by far the most useful, indispensible, difficult, and laborious.” // – Andreas Vesalius, De Humani Corporus Fabrica "For as long as physicians maintained that only the treatment of interior diseases was their concern, they believed that knowledge of the viscera was all they needed, and they neglected the fabric of bones and muscles and the nerves, veins and arteries that run throughout the bones and muscles, as if these were irrelevant to them."

HERO

Andreas Vesalius Father of Modern Anatomy Vesalius was the fist scientist to use actual observation of parts of the human body as a basis for drawings and study. All previous medical anatomy studies were based on the work of ancient Greek physician, Galen. Most of his work was due to his study of animals. Vesalius studied actual human bodies. He used his own hands to dissect the dead bodies. He is famous for the drawings that he hired famous artists to do as he was dissecting. Vesalius was a hero for having the courage to speak up against the customs of the day and do things differently. He even went to cemeteries and places of execution to get bodies to study. His task in life was to overcome the teachings of people in he past and show that there was a better way. The way of making drawings of the body and teaching students in this way is carried through to medicine today. It was Vesalius’s belief that medicine should not be performed by untrained barbers and blacksmiths, but by doctors who took the time to learn about the human body.  Medical Genius Award

   WANTED

**__MURDERER __**

This man was seen dissecting the body of a man while the poor soul’s **heart**     was still beating! The family of Jack accuses Andreas Vesalius of the most horrible crime of murder. A Doctor is suppose to respect and SAVE human lives. Not this Vesalius guy! A highly respected scientist, Jacob Sylvius, calls Vesalius a “madman”. Bartholomew Eustachus has declared he would rather “err with Galen” than accept truth from an “innovator” like Vesalius.  WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE
