Giovanni battista morgagni biography of donald

Content

Giovanni Battista Morgagni (1682-1771) was an Italian physician and anatomist considered by many to be the father of modern pathological anatomy, as well as medicine based on clinical diagnosis.

With a rationalist vision, he was the first doctor to demonstrate the need to base diagnosis, prognosis and treatment on the anatomical conditions of the patient and thus discover the correlation of the underlying lesions and the disease.

De sedibus et causis morborum per anatomen indagatis (1761) is his most important work, being the compilation of more than 700 medical records and the protocols exercised in them.

He served as professor of anatomy at the University of Padua (Italy), one of the largest institutions of knowledge in medicine of the time.
