🔍 Great Doctors Series: Vesalius—The Doctor Who Dared to Look

🫀 What happens when a young doctor stops trusting the textbook—and looks for himself?

Meet Andreas Vesalius (1514–1564), whose human dissections exposed errors inherited from Galen's animal anatomy. 🔍 At just 28, he published the magnificent De Humani Corporis Fabrica (1543), helping transform anatomy into a science grounded in direct observation. 📖

His enduring lesson for medicine: respect authority—but verify with evidence. 🔬
