The development of modern medicine began in the 16th century when Dr. Andreas Vesalius overthrew the previously uncontested medical dogma of the Greek physician Galen. Medical progress had been hindered for more than a millennium by strict adherence to Galen's authority. Flemish-born Vesalius challenged the political and societal forces of the time. At the University of Padua, he studied and later taught human anatomy by performing dissections. His discoveries were published in 1543 in his monumental De Humani Corporis Fabrica. Controversy led to his resignation from the University of Padua. His magnum opus was interpreted as a challenge to both academia and the church. He went to Spain, where he served as personal physician to Emperor Charles V. After almost 20 years in Spain, he became involved in an unfortunate incident that incurred the condemnation of the Inquisition. The royal court's intervention saved Vesalius from being burned at the stake, however, and he was ordered to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to atone for his error. On the return voyage, he became ill and died on the Greek island of Zante.
现代医学的发展始于16世纪，当时安德烈亚斯·维萨里乌斯博士推翻了希腊医生盖伦此前无可争议的医学教条。由于严格遵循盖伦的权威，医学进步受阻了一千多年。出生于佛兰德斯的维萨里乌斯挑战了当时的政治和社会力量。在帕多瓦大学，他通过解剖来研究并随后教授人体解剖学。他的发现于1543年发表在他的巨著《人体的构造》中。争议导致他从帕多瓦大学辞职。他的杰作被视为对学术界和教会的挑战。他前往西班牙，在那里担任查理五世皇帝的私人医生。在西班牙待了近20年后，他卷入了一场不幸事件，招致宗教裁判所的谴责。然而，王室的干预使维萨里乌斯免于火刑，他被命令前往耶路撒冷朝圣以赎罪。在返程途中，他生病并在希腊的赞特岛去世。
