Learn about the Greek physician and philosopher Galen of Pergamon, whose experiments and discoveries changed medicine.
--
In the 16th century, an anatomist named Andreas Vesalius made a shocking discovery: the most famous human anatomy texts in the world were wrong. While Vesalius knew he was right, announcing the errors would mean challenging Galen of Pergamon. Who was this towering figure? And why was he still revered and feared 1,300 years later? Ramon Glazov profiles the most renowned physician in medical history.

Fausto Levantesi - Not so much of a coincidence as most think: Copernicus, Vesalius, Da Vinci, Rafael, Michelangelo, Galileo - and all the other Renaissance ‘iconoclasts’ - had direct access to Greek ideas which contradicted the orthodox Ancient Greek scientific canon that had long been accepted as unassailable in the Latin West. The 1204 sacking of Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade, the subsequent ‘Frankish’ occupation of the Greek East, as well as the final Fall of Byzantium to the Ottomans in 1453, had a profound intellectual and cultural effect on Europe. For one thing, a huge influx of Classical Greek manuscripts and scholars made their way west, first to Italy, and eventually to other parts of Western Europe. The great scientists, artists, scholars, and inventors of the Renaissance, the Age of Reason, the European Enlightenment, and the Scientific Age, did not do it alone: they had direct access to Greek texts. Most of the ideas they investigated - from moral and natural philosophy, aesthetics, art, linguistics, literary criticism, political science, mathematics, mechanics, physics, astronomy, medicine, biology, even the much later theories of evolution and general relativity (!) - ALL had their origins several centuries before, in the intellectually audacious Classical Greek world, and in the culturally vibrant Hellenistic cities of the eastern Mediterranean. Much of that wisdom was lost for over a millennium, only to resurface in the West after the collapse of the Hellenized Eastern Roman Empire. It was this, more than anything else, which brought about the rupture with the old medieval worldview, and ushered in the European Renaissance and the modern Scientific Age: sine Graeci, nihil...

Galen deserves much criticism from historians. It is immeasurable how far he set back the advancement of medicine. How many lives lost as a result of his Cowshittery, over the ages?

Course, now that we are about to hit 8 billion on this planet, maybe he really was a saviour.

The scientific method is a wonderful ideal. But it sometimes struggles when dealing with complex systems such as human nutrition, in which it's exceptionally hard to accurately isolate a single variable. Moreover, scientists themselves are only human and, as such, are subject to human weaknesses---and, as a result, science sometimes has its "holy writ" and "orthodoxy" and "heretics." It sometimes takes decades or even centuries for critics to amass enough evidence to overturn well-established errors. Galen's errors are only a few among so many. Kudos, TED-Ed.

In my opinion, I think Galen wasn't to blame. It was the doctors who did the real human dissections and knowingly repeated such mistakes that helped perpetuate this.

This was one of my favorite TEDed videos so far. Why not also produce a video on the influence of the physician and polymath Ibn Sina (Avicenna)? Arguably just as influential on medicine in the middle ages as Gaelen.

Bloodletting has benefits and does help with certain medical problems. If there isnt proper medical equipment for modern procedures, its not surprising a doctor would turn to bloodletting. "Doctors still use bloodletting, for instance, in cases of polycythemia-an abnormally high red blood cell count-and in a hereditary disease called hemochromatosis, which leaves too much iron in the blood." www.nationalgeographic.com/science/phenomena/2015/10/27/bloodletting-is-still-happening-despite-centuries-of-harm/

@@theotherside931 Not a doctor, but usually when done properly and not excessively, bloodletting can strengthen arteries and heart muscles (like donating blood). So by stressing the body/blood, it would create more white blood cells than normal, as the body does when you are sick or hurt.

This is likely why the practice happened for so long, because it actually might help you heal faster (depending on the illness), as long as the cut/opening doesnt get infected. Its kind of like when you work out, then youre sore, and after a few days your muscles heal and your muscles are stronger. (Im not recommending/encouraging the practice, just giving some insight.)

This video reminds me the novel "I, Julia", by Santiago Posteguillo. Galen is the storyteller of Julia Domna's story. She was a sirian princess, who married with the roman general Septimius Severus. After Emperor Comodus' dead Julia and Severus fought against other four emperors for the throne. She was the most powerful roman's empress.

This video about Galen, about how, even though he was smart and made important discoveries, his ego ended up threatening others? That actually reminds me of something. In the popular anime and manga series “Bleach”, creates by Tite Kubo, one of the key characters there is a scientist named Mayuri Kurotsuchi. And, when you look at it, Mayuri actually shares some big similarities with Galen here. Like Galen, Mayuri is a very distinguished scientist with a whole plethora of achievements behind him. However, also Galen, Mayuri has a really big ego, such that in pursuit of scientific knowledge and improvement, he turns a blind eye to the suffering and anguish of the people around him. To him, as long as his knowledge expands and his creations improve, nothing else matters. Considering all of this, I actually asked myself, “What if, while Kubo was designing Mayuri’s character, he actually used Galen here, or other scientists like him, as a source of inspiration?”

Galen's theory of the physiology of the circulatory system remained unchallenged until ca. 1242, when Ibn al-Nafis published his book Sharh tashrih al-qanun li’ Ibn Sina (Commentary on Anatomy in Avicenna's Canon), in which he reported his discovery of the pulmonary circulation.
