Ambrose Pare was a barber surgeon who practiced medicine out in Italy during a french war. He not only practiced regular surgeries, but also revolutionized surgery. When he ran out of supplies for cauterizing his patients he had to make due with a much gentler method that excluded surgery. To his surprise the patients he treated with this method healed much faster than his others. He soon began to think of medicine as "I treated them, and god healed them" He was not educated in a university, so when he published his own works he wrote them in French instead of Latin. He was very much into detail and design, making his own tools for extraction and treatment and even designing prosthetic hands, noses, and legs. (some of which are so intricate, we are not sure if they were actually constructed).
