The Renaissance Background
The word renaissance means rebirth, and that’s exactly what occurred in this period. There was a rebirth of ancient ways of thinking. Not much in terms of medicine changes, but there was definitely a shift in attitude from a conservative to an inquisitive one amongst doctors and scholars. The roots of this could even be claimed to be the Black Death. Following the Black Death, survivors were better off (as they could claim higher wages) and could therefore devote more time and money to education.

The Renaissance Disease and Infection
To highlight the new mind set, the bezoar stone story from France is useful. King Charles of France was recommended to use a bezoar stone (from a animal similar to a goat) t treat all poisons. His surgeon Pare informed him this could not be so. It was tested on a live ‘victim’ who was first given the deadly poison and then had the bezoar stone treatment used on him. He died—the stone did not work—but at least they were experimenting and trying out new things.

In 1454 the printing press was invented by Johanne Gutenberg. This sped up the spreading of new ideas and drastically reduced the cost of producing books (for previously thy were copied by hand by monks). However, this did not lead to an increase in literacy levels amongst the poor as there was still no formal education and the books were still far too expensive.

The new printing press helped a certain man named Martin Luther. He essentially started a new church—the Protestant church. This was the beginning of the period known as the Reformation, and it occurred in Britain too when Henry VIII turned away from Catholicism and e Pope. This started a period which allowed for more open debate about ideas even leading to Galen being challenged.

Who was Paracelsus? In 1527 the doctor Paracelsus was made town doctor as well as lecturer in the University of Basel In his first lecture he burnt the books of Galen and Avicenna. It was at this time that Galen’s texts were translated in their entirety into Latin. These new works were of a much greater quality and showed, for the first time, how Galen had deeply regretted not being able to dissect a human body, for this and the study of the skeleton were the key to understanding cures and treatments. It also unearthed a deeper study into anatomy. Learning Outcomes By the end of this lesson you will be able to… Describe the key features of an exam questions and the time period.

Why was Paracelsus important? He refused to teach Latin, as everyone had to, instead speaking in German. He called Galen and Avicenna fakes and liars. The only way to learn, Paracelsus stated, was look at a patient. He also argued for the use of chemicals in medicine—balancing minerals and elements in the body.

The Renaissance Surgery and Anatomy
Similarly to disease and infection, there was not much change in surgery and anatomy in the Renaissance. As in the Middle Ages, there were three main types of surgery undertaken: trephining (still!), amputations and removing tumours. Although, there were some minor alterations to battlefield surgery because of a surgeon named Ambroise Pare. Learning Outcomes By the end of this lesson you will be able to… Describe the key features of an exam questions and the time period.

Who was Pare? Ambroise Pare ( ) was the most famous surgeon of the Medical Renaissance In 1533 he trained as a barber surgeon in Paris In 1537 he became a military surgeon to the French army In 1545 he published his discoveries in his book The Method of treating Wounds In 1572 he became King Henry II’s royal surgeon In 1575 a collection of his works was published In 1585 The Apology and Treatise of Ambroise Pare was published which justified his treatments and encouraged others to practise them.

Why is Pare important? When he was treating soldiers in the army he discovered by chance a new way to treat gunshot wounds: an ointment of egg yolks, rose oil and turpentine rather than cauterisation (burning a part of the body using a hot metal to stop bleeding) or boiling oil (which he had run out of). Cauterisation was extremely painful and often people died from the shock. Now ointments could be used instead. He stopped using cauterisation for amputations too, instead tying the veins and arteries to stop the bleeding (ligatures) Learning Outcomes By the end of this lesson you will be able to… Describe the key features of an exam questions and the time period.

Why is Pare important? He proved that the bezoar stone didn’t cure the effects of poison with an experiment on a thieving cook. The cook was given poison and then some of the stone. He died. Pare tested theories and if something didn’t work, he would stop using it. He also contributed to work on prosthetic limbs His work reduced pain, however, his work was ignored as many stuck to traditional methods.

The important advancement in the Renaissance was in knowledge of anatomy. Many factors contributed to this improvement (some already mentioned). There was a reduction in Catholic Church power meaning more dissections could occur and Galen could be challenged. Also the new scientific study amounted to more interest in the discovery and research of the human body.

The printing press ensured books could be produced quicker and cheaper, and crucially without mistakes. Finally new artistic techniques were developed because artists wanted more realistic drawings—as art became more popular. This produced more accurate books from which to learn from, and now individuals such as Leonardo da Vinci to bridge the gap between science and art. He was known as Renaissance Man; this was someone well educated in both science and art who would have seen no obvious distinction between the two fields.

Who was Vesalius? Andreas Vesalius ( ) came from a long line of doctors. From he studied medicine at Leuven University in Belgium and the University of Paris He studied Galen’s theories and developed an interest in finding skeletons to learn about anatomy. He did his own dissections and then published drawings of them In 1543 his most important book, The Fabric of the Human Body, was published Soon after this he became Charles V’s imperial physician Learning Outcomes By the end of this lesson you will be able to… Describe the key features of an exam questions and the time period. E-D Explain how to answer an exam question and the technique required. C-B Judge the significance of key features in the time period. A-A*

Why is Vesalius important? Because he dissected human bodies himself he was able to realise when Galen was wrong e.g. about the jawbone or the liver He could also prove when Hippocrates or Galen had been right because of his own scientifically based observations of the human body. His book, The Fabric of the Human body, was a textbook of human anatomy and was important because: It contained descriptions and accurate illustrations of the entire human body It discussed how dissection should be practised (doing it yourself) It corrected some of Galen’s mistakes—jawbone and that the septum in the middle of the heart had no tiny holes in it Believed that the practice of bleeding should stop. Because it was a book its ideas could be spread quickly. Learning Outcomes By the end of this lesson you will be able to… Describe the key features of an exam questions and the time period.

Who was Harvey? William Harvey ( _ was an English physician From he studied medicine at Prada university where he was taught by fabricius, a famous Italian anatomist Fabricius showed Harvey how Galen had mistaken the septum in the heart to have holes in it and told him the new theories In 1604 he joined the Royal College of Physicians in London In 1616 he began lecturing on anatomy at he Royal College From 1618 he became James I and the Charles I’s physician In 1628 his book An Anatomical Treatise on the Motion of the Heart was published which told of his discovery that blood circulates around the body. Learning Outcomes By the end of this lesson you will be able to… Describe the key features of an exam questions and the time period. E-D Explain how to answer an exam question and the technique required. C-B Judge the significance of key features in the time period. A-A*

Why is Harvey important? Harvey disproved Galen’s theory about blood and discovered that it circulated He did his own experiments rather than relying on what people in the past had discovered Unlike Galen, he realised that animal hearts and human hearts are different but understood that animal hearts were still useful to gain understanding.

Why is Harvey important? By vivisecting (cutting someone up while it’s alive) animals he discovered that the heart pumps blood around the body. He realised that the heart was pumping out lots of blood, too much for it to be remade and replaced like Galen thought. It must have been circulating instead. Fabricius had found valves in the veins and Harvey built on this: he found that valves would only let blood g one way. Blood came out of the heart through the arties and in through the veins.

Harvey’s 1628 book, On Motion of the heart, held theories which replaced Galen’s, for example that the heart worked like a pump. He had successfully ended the medical dependence on Greek ideas of the anatomy.

He showed that the volume of blood in the body always remains constant which means it’s not continuously used up and remade, and that blood circulate the body in just one direction. The idea that blood did not run out but constantly pumped around the body also proved that bleeding, which up to then had been constantly used in medicine as a treatment, was useless in providing treatment for the patient. Its purpose (to lower the overly high level of blood) was impossible due to the fact that it was highly unlikely that a person could have too much, since blood was constantly circulated.

However, many refused to believe these two individuals because thy couldn’t believe Galen might be wrong. Additionally, neither of them actually saved any lives at the time, but they did provide a good theoretical framework for future surgical work.

The Renaissance Public Health
Unfortunately, though many scientific breakthroughs were achieved in the Renaissance, they were mostly in anatomy rather than treatment. Treatments were therefore still based on the four humours and the spiritual. The most commonly prescribed treatments were still bleeding and lowering the levels of liquids in the body to balance the humours, despite the discovery of the heart as a pump. This was because most treatments were prescribed by healers who were not trained in modern medicine and anatomy.

Patients were mostly treated by either trained doctors, who were not often successful in their methods or apothecaries, who used herbal remedies and trained through an apprenticeship with another apothecary. They often charged a lot and prescribed chemicals or metals. Alternative aid could be found in healers. They were always untrained but practised as a healer to a community like a GP today. Some of these healers called themselves witches and claimed that the treatment they provided were all linked to magic. Another type of healer was the faith healer who promised to heal with their faith.

The Great Plague of London The Great Plague of London was active from 1665 to It was smaller in scale than the Black Death but still killed around 20% of the population of London, or about 100,000 people. It is now known that the plague was spread through fleas on the back of black rats. However the people had blamed dogs, killing all the dogs they could find. When the plague continued they blamed cats and killed them as well. However, this would only have made the plague stronger, as cats and dogs were the only animals that were eating the rats, and therefore keeping the rat and flea population down. After their deaths the plague increased. Learning Outcomes By the end of this lesson you will be able to… Describe the key features of an exam questions and the time period. E-D Explain how to answer an exam question and the technique required. C-B Judge the significance of key features in the time period. A-A*

The people also felt that bad air was a contributing factor and sent men out at night to clear the streets. This may have helped as it could have reduced the amount of food available for rats, not because of the bad air as they believed. People were only allowing out in public health in large groups to pray for an end to the plague. This shows that they still held on to spiritual beliefs as a cure.

If a member of a household caught the plague they were forced to stay in their house with their uninfected family members, with house boarded up and guarded by watchmen, whose job it was to be stationed outside these houses. The house was boarded up for 40 days with no one able to leave or enter. If another family contracted the disease than the 40 day curfew would start again from scratch. This meant that they believed the plague was transmitted from person to person.

The plague did improve public health in the physicians were ordered by the council to work for the city, and the dirty state of the city coupled with Great Fire of London in September 1666 saw great housing improvements and new buildings.

Explain why Pare was able to make advances in medicine.
For example: Pare was able to make advances because he was helped by chance. He was treating soldiers on the battlefield using the old fashioned method of cauterising wounds when he ran out of the oil that was needed for this. So he turned to an old Roman method that involved using egg yolks and oil of roses. This was much more soothing for the soldiers and it worked better than the old method. But he would not have tried it if he had not run out of boiling oil, so chance was important.

Explain why Harvey is important in the history of medicine.
For example Harvey's work was very important. Without his explanation of how blood moves around the body, how it circulates, it would be impossible to carry out blood transfusions today. A lot of complicated operations need blood transfusions and they would not be able to take place without Harvey. It was only when people know that the same blood is moving around the body all the time that they realised that lost blood needed to be replaced.

Who is more important in the history of medicine, Galen or Vesalius
Who is more important in the history of medicine, Galen or Vesalius? Explain your answer. Example…. Galen was important in the history of medicine because of his books. He wrote a lot of his ideas down and his books were still being used over a thousand years later. Doctors and universities still believed what he said in his books about the structure of the human body. In fact when bodies were dissected for students it was simply to show them what Galen said in his book. This hold over medicine for hundreds of years is what makes him important.

‘The main reason why there was much progress in medicine during the Renaissance was the existence of great men like Pare and Vesalius.’ How far do you agree with this statement? Explain your answer. Summary Great men were not that important. The important thing is that they were living at the right time. The Renaissance was a time when people were studying things for themselves and not just relying on the ideas of the Greeks and Romans. They found out things for themselves. This was happening in all kinds of areas like science and art, not just in medicine. So these great men like Paré were only able to make these discoveries because they were living in a time that allowed them to do that kind of work.

‘Vesalius is more important than Harvey in the history of medicine.’ How far do you agree with this statement? Explain your answer. Summary Vesalius is more important because he studied the human body carefully by dissecting bodies. When he did this he found that Galen had been wrong about lots of things such as the jaw being made of two bones. He wrote a book with all of his new discoveries in and this meant that doctors everywhere had a better knowledge of how the human body worked. So he is important in the history of medicine because he had moved things on from Galen.

Which is more important in the history of medicine, the Roman period or the Medical Renaissance? Explain your answer. For example…. The Renaissance is far more important because this was when Harvey discovered the circulation of the blood. This meant that people knew that the same blood was going round the body. This was important because it meant people realised that if someone lost a lot of blood it needed to be replaced. This led to blood transfusions which would not have been seen as necessary without Harvey.

Which is more important in the history of medicine, the Roman period or the Medical Renaissance? Explain your answer. Possible conclusion The Romans were not important because of the fall of the Roman Empire and the destruction of their public health facilities. This meant their work had no impact on the people that followed. Learning Outcomes By the end of this lesson you will be able to… Describe the key features of an exam questions and the time period.
