English physician William Harvey and his contributions to medicine, particularly anatomy and physiology, cannot be understated. In 1628, Harvey wrote De Motu Cordis (or “On the Motion of the Heart and Blood) and became the first to completely describe the circulation of blood through the body as pumped by the heart. Below is an updated 2016 interpretation of Harvey's De Motu Cordis and show why it is one of the seminal textbooks in all of medicine.

That guy Galen is a quack

I perceive that blood is red

Actually, I take that back, I perceive that blood is red if it’s from an artery

Blood is, like, a bit darker from veins

I am almost tempted to think we need phlebotomists to collect this blood

Patients must keep their arms straight to keep the Alaris pump from beeping

I have learned the hard way: when dissecting arteries, have vascular surgery back-up

A TV show called “Grey’s Anatomy” will become huge and run for at least 12 seasons

I found the task so arduous, counting troponins

At no point is a “selfie” appropriate during a scientific experiment

I truly believe that “tourniquet” is spelled with a Q

Arteries pulsate because of the left ventricle, but I cannot verify without an echo

The right ventricle pumps blood to the pulmonary artery, don’t let Dr. Oz convince you otherwise

The ICD-10 code for “discovering circulation, first encounter” is DMC 1628
