Ambrose Pare
He was born in 1510 in France. In his youth, he served as a surgeons apprentice. Next he rose to the barbor level. In wartime, he served his country in war. His book Des Monstres was published in 1573. His faith is unknown. He was one if the first people to learn how to tie an artery. He passed along accounts of sea devils, marine sows, and monstous faces of humans in his book. When an anonymous critic tried to squash Paré's opinions, he wrote, "I say nothing of his apparent animosity, which I suppose must be due rather to his zeal for the truth than to any opinion that he can hold of me."
