📝 Exam Technique: Harvey = Proof But Not Treatment
Key point for essays: Harvey's discovery didn't immediately help patients. Doctors still bled patients (now even more confidently — "improving" circulation!). Real practical benefits came later with blood transfusions.
Link to other factors: Harvey built on Vesalius (observation), benefited from printing press (spread ideas), and his theory was eventually proven by technology (microscopes).
