German-Swiss physician and alchemist Paracelsus (1493–1542), Renaissance physician Andreas Vesalius (1514–1564), and English physician William Harvey (1578–1657) sought to apply the experimental method to medicine.

By the early twentieth century, physicians had mixed views about medical research. Physicians still accepted the Hippocratic ethos, but they were also interested in advancing medical science and testing new therapies.

Physicians often treated their patients without explaining what they were doing or why. They were more concerned with helping their patients than obtaining consent and they often viewed medical experimentation as a necessary part of treatment.
