Example A

William Harvey was a trained physician in the seventeenth century. After doing research on circulation of the blood, he wrote a report about the #motion of the heart and blood in animals. There are many reasons why Harveys discovery had such a limited impact on medical treatment. For example, at this time many people believed that Galen was the father of medicine. Galen wrote 250 texts on what he thought was correct in medicine. Galen thought that blood in a human body circulated around the liver, whereas Harvey proved him wrong by saying the blood circulates around the heart. As Galen was so loved, many people did not want to believe Harveys explanations. In the 17th Century medicine was controlled by the church and the church did not like Harveys theories as they were going against Galen. Also the discovery did not make a huge impact on medical treatment because Harvey was not concentrating on treatment, but just of the human body. He did not look at disease and what caused and prevented them, he just wanted people to understand how the circulation system

Example B
William Harveys discovery of the circulation of the blood in the 17th Century now has made a big impact, but back then it had such a limited impact on medical treatment because of the work of Hippocrates, Valieus and Galen. Harveys ideas and discoverys were all very scientific, as for before all ideas on medicine were very religious such as the

of element that had to be balanced, and when your ill thats unbalanced. They believed in natural causes like the miasma theory. William Harvey was the first man to contradict, Galen (who made the most impact) and ay the time hardly anyone responded to his ideas and discoverys because medicine only involved religious views, the church

(who back then had a lot of power) truly believed Galen, so

therefore when Harvey suggested that blood circulated the body, hardly any impact was made, it was only till later when others progressed this theory of science involving medicine truly made an impact.
