Ambroise Par was

Ambroise Par was born in Bourg-heretical, in the French region of Maine, the son of a carpenter and a prostitute. Because of his humble origins had no formal training, so they know the Greek and Latin, and French used to write his works. The fact of using the vernacular allowed wide dissemination of its treaties between medical professionals and the general public. Pare begin his career as an apprentice barber surgeon, the name was known to a lower class of surgeons. The latter were below the long robe called surgeons, who studied at the School of San Cosme (patron saint of physicians) and knew the classical languages and writings of Galen. The barber surgeons were considered as manual workers, as well as treating wounds, hair cut, shaved and performed bloodletting. At age 17 get to go to the great Paris hospital founded in the seventh century, the H tel-Dieu, which work between 1533 and 1536.The conditions in this hospital were quite weak due to hygienic conditions where the patients were crowded regardless of gender. Moreover, the surgery was performed in the halls, not on specific operating rooms. Because of this lack the level of mortality was very high, and therefore the surgery at that time had so little prestige. Jamie Tisch In 1536 he was hired by a military officer to serve as a military surgeon of the French troops in the Italian campaigns, practice at the time. His first mission was made in the war in Piedmont during the assault of Francis I to Turin (1537). But never refused to assist anyone. Pare made no distinction: Protestant or Catholic, Spanish, French, German, Flemish or Italian would get their attention. At that time guns were fired at short distances due to their short range. This fact caused the wounds were surrounded by gunpowder.Besides the treatment was not covered for them in the writings of Galen. The general opinion was that the poisoned powder to treat the wound and used oil from elderberry. Jamie Tisch During the battle of Vilaine, made his first great discovery. Due to lack of oil, created its own remedy "against the pain caused by firearms. This consisted in an egg yolk, rose oil and turpentine. The day after using this application emollient found its beneficial effect. Later in the battle of first Dauvilliers apply the technique of ligature of arteries to the amputation stumps. Although ligation of vessels was already known, it did not apply to amputations. The stumps were cauterized with hot iron, a technique that proved ineffective. To tie the vessels used forceps and stitches. Pare's success with this technique represented a major advance for the surgery.In 1545 he published a treatise on the treatment of gunshot wounds, "M thode de traiter les faites par les Plaies arquebuts bastons feu et autres, et celles qui sont faites par la poudre canon" (Method of treating wounds muskets and sticks of fire) is considered one of the milestones of surgical art. In 1553 published the second ion of the same work. In 1561 he published his Anatomie universelle du corps humain. He also published other treaties on the treatment of wounds and disease. In 1559, the taking of Calais by the French, attended the Duke of Guise of a mortal wound. Other doctors of the Duke gave up arguing that the Duke was hopeless and his pride prevented them from accepting that a surgeon could not academic and I stopped doing something they could not. Not without many impediments to save the duke got stopped, which thereafter took the surname of "slashed" by the huge scar that he got in his face.He also had a role in the development of obstetrics, showing that it was possible to turn the baby before birth when complications arise due to their position (breech version). Another of his contributions were the most appropriate technique for the removal of missiles and use of tubes to drain abscesses, trusses, and artificial limbs amputees. When the campaign ended, due to their contributions and successes became house physician and royal advisor attending four kings: Henry II, Francis II, Charles IX and Henry III. It is said that Vesalius was with in court when the fatal accident occurred in a tournament of King Henry II. She could do nothing to save the life of the monarch. Nor could save the King Francis II of his untimely death at age 16. He was accused of belonging to the reformed religion although married by the Catholic rites and their children were baptized.
