[[File:Harvey's De Motu Cordis.png|275px|thumb|left]] 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 [[Anatomy of the Heart|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 [[Duck Fat|quack]]''
''I perceive that blood is red''
''Patients must keep their arms straight to keep the Alaris pump from beeping''
''I have learned the hard way: when dissecting arteries, have [[Circle of Willis|vascular surgery ]] back-up''
''A TV show called “Grey’s Anatomy” “[[Gray's Anatomy|Grey’s Anatomy]]” will become huge and run for at least 12 seasons''
''I found the task so arduous, counting [[Troponin|troponins]]''
''At no point is a “selfie” appropriate during a scientific experiment''
