Finn, your Starvard guide

Ciao, mi chiamo Finn e ti aiuterò a capire questo libro.

Eccolo, spiegato come se avessi 10 anni:

Molto tempo fa, i medici ripetevano soprattutto ciò che i vecchi libri dicevano sul corpo. William Harvey osservò cuori viventi, legò vene, e contò quanto sangue manda fuori il cuore. In questo libro, nella traduzione di Robert Willis dal latino, mostra che il sangue non va e viene come una marea. Va in cerchio, fuori attraverso le arterie e indietro attraverso le vene, con il cuore come sua pompa. La medicina moderna inizia qui.
