The Father of Anatomy

Galen gathered together most of the medical knowledge that had been obtained in his lifetime and extended that knowledge by discovering more than anyone had known before about the inner workings of the body. He wrote that doctors had to understand how the body works if they wanted to treat sick people successfully. Through this biography, see how doctors have learned medicine from Galen's writings for more than fifteen hundred years.
