5. Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564) Born in Brussels. Studied medicine in Paris and Italy where he met artists who were studying skeletons and dissecting bodies to make their paintings more realistic. Became Professor of Surgery at Padua in Italy. He made detailed drawings which were published in his book The Fabric of the Human Body (1543) so any doctor or surgeon could see inside a body without cutting it up for themselves. Before Vesalius: doctors believed there was no need to learn more about anatomy by dissecting human bodies. After Vesalius: Vesalius dissected dead bodies to find out for himself how the muscles, bones and organs connect to each other. Vesalius showed that it vital that doctors dissect human bodies to find out more about the human structure and exactly how it works.

7. Ambroise Pare (1510-1590) Born in France. Became a surgeon in Paris. In 1536 he became an army surgeon and spent twenty years on campaign treating gunshot wounds.

They stopped a wound bleeding by sealing it with a red hot iron. This was called cauterising. After Pare: Pare discovered wounds healed more quickly if simple bandages were used. He stopped cauterising and instead tied the ends of arteries using silk thread. Before Pare: wounds were treated by pouring boiling oil onto them. Doctors beleievd this would help them heal.
