**__FUN FACTS__**

 * At age 16, Vesalius stole corpses so that he could dissect them.
 * At age 23, Vesalius was made head of the Department of Surgery at the University of Padua in Italy,the most important medical school in the world then.
 * In 1538, at only age 24, Vesalius got John Stephanus of Calcapto to draw versions of the six charts that he sketched for his students. Three of them showed views of human skeletons, another three showed the portal vein near the heart, the heart and all of the veins in the body, and the heart and all of its arteries.
 * Vesalius's charts corrected many small but very important errors of Galen, a scientist before Vesalius.
 * Vesalius finished __//De Humani Corporis Fabrica//__ in 1543 at age 29. Vesalius sent a copy to King Charles V. with 200 amazing hand colored illustrations. The Emperor was so impressed that a few months later Vesalius was invited to be one of the Charles's personal doctors
