Untitled

Why has no one actually made this page detailed and concise? If William Harvey or Ambroise Pare can have a lengthy acticle, then why does Vesalius have a very small paragraph? I think that he should have a longer paragraph describing his works. anon

Few Suggestions

I seemed to get a bias sense from some of the wording used when referring to Galen’s work compared to Vesalius. It mentions in the medical career and accomplishment section that Galen assumed a lot of his work based on the assumptions from animals, and basically that Vesalius’ information trumps his. But I think Galen’s deserves a better perspective and view for his work to prevent bias. Also for paragraph 4 in the section of “Imperial physician and death”, they say “Some said”. But who is that pertaining too? That same information is sourced from a Dutch language reference which is hard to validate. A lot of information seems to not be cited.

In the scientific findings section there seem to be a lot of opinionated words. For instance it is written Vesalius' work in on the vascular and circulatory systems was his greatest achievement to modern medicine. I believe this could be a biased statement and that saying one of his greatest achievements would be more fair to the article. It seems as though a couple of facts are missing citations such as the ones at the end of other achievements. Seems as though there could be more written about Vesalius Autopsy considering that was the thing he was most known for. — Preceding unsigned comment added byMcaffrey9 (talk) 16:42, 6 February 2017 (UTC) Mcaffrey9 (talk • contribs) 16:35, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is quite a bit of editorializing in the "Scientific Findings" bit that needs revised. It currently sounds more like a eulogy and less like an encyclopedic article. Rigidbodyratking (talk) 10:12, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
