⚖️ Sweat, Scales & Science: The Doctor Who Weighed Everything! 🔬 Imagine weighing yourself, everything you eat and drink, and everything you excrete—for 30 years! That's exactly what Santorio Santorio (1561–1636) did! 🪑 Using his ingenious weighing chair, he discovered that much of our weight loss occurs invisibly through the skin and breathing—insensible perspiration. 🌡️ He also pioneered instruments to measure pulse and temperature. 📖 His 1614 masterpiece, De Statica Medicina, helped transform medicine from speculation into measurement. 💡 His legacy? If you want to understand the body, measure it! 🎙️ Dr RR Baliga's Podkast for the Kurious Doc. #GreatDoctors #MedicalHistory #Physiology
