Iswear by Apollo — the physician, by Asclepius Hygeia and Panaces, and I take to witness all the gods, and the goddesses, to keep according to my ability the following Oath.

I will prescribe regimen for the good of my patients according to my ability and never do harm to anyone. I will not prescribe a deadly drug, nor give advice which may cause him death.

In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, I will keep myself far from all intentional ill-doing, and espe­cially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves. All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profes­sion or outside of my profession, which must not be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal.

If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practise my art, respected by all men and in all times, but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot.

1. What do you know about Andreas Vesalius? 2. What did William Harvey discover? 3. Who invented the microscope?

 

In the sixteenth century a doctor named Andreas Vesalius studied anatomy on dead bodies. He used corpses (трупы) for his examinations. Vesalius was born in Brussels, got his education as a doctor in Paris. Later he moved to Padua University where he became Professor of anatomy. In 1543 he published an illustrated book — «The Working of the Human Body».

During the era of the fourteenth through seventeenth century the foundations of science and medicine were established. The art of surgery was improved by Ambroise Pare. Parecelsus became the father of twentieth-century chemotherapy. Andreas Vesalius made the study of anatomy a science based on direct observations. William Harvey, the English physician to King James I, discovered the circulation of the blood and his countryman (соотечественник) Thomas Sydenham developed the science of internal medicine.

In 1675 Antony van Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch brewer [Ьги:э] пивовар из Голландии) invented the microscope and observed bacteria and protozoa. He also described microscopic organisms. Other important discoveries were made in the seventeenth century. These discoveries helped to understand and study the human body, especially the various digestive glands, blood circulation, sensory nerve endings, the structure and function of the ear, salivary glands and the structure of bones.
