In this episode, we’ll explore the groundbreaking work of Andreas Vesalius and his impact on anatomical study. We’ll discuss how his dissections challenged long-held beliefs, particularly those of Galen, and sparked controversy. We’ll also examine his influential publications, such as On The Fabric of the Human Body, and how they encouraged further scientific exploration. Join us as we uncover Vesalius’s lasting contributions to surgery and medical knowledge.
