His dissections, which quickly brought to light the many mistakes that had since Greek and Roman times,- - changed the whole course of the science. Vesalius became court physician to Charles V of Spain and to Charles son, Philip II. While imperial physician, he was involved in many bitter disputes with those who upheld the teachings of Galen, and his enemies took advantage of Vesalius bad luck to ruin him. n PR . 351000 'left ) Vesalius France and Flanders, because of the restrictions there on the dissection of human bodies, and went to Italy. Although he did not denigrate the work of the great Roman physician, Galen, nor of the other ancient anatomists, Vesalius felt that observation was more important than reliance on the teachings of the past. In this he showed the true scientific attitude. IT HAPPENED that a Spanish grandee was pronounced dead, and his family gave Vesalius permission to perform an autopsy. r v When the grandees chest was opened, the heart was found to be beating feebly, although no pulse nor breath could be detected. The man died on Vesalius autopsy table, and the scandal finished the great anatomist's career. To do penance, he was ordered to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and on his way back to Italy, where he had accepted a university post, his ship was wrecked on the island of Zante. Vesalius died of exposure.

He studied at the University of Louvain and be gan his work in anatomy when he was only 14. At the age of 21, he had already become so famous that he had lectured at the three greatest medical schools of the age, the Universities of Pisa, Padua and Bologna, and by the time he was 28, Versalius had arranged anatomy in just about the form it still retains.
