Galen Treating Gladiator

Galen (131-201) was born in Asia Minor. After receiving medical training in Smyrna and Alexandria, he gained fame as a surgeon to the gladiators of Pergamos. He was summoned to Rome to be the physician of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius and spent the rest of his life at the Court writing an enormous corpus of medical works. Taking Hippocrates' notions of the humors and pathology, he incorporated the anatomical knowledge of noted Alexandrians. A supporter of observation and reasoning, he was one of the first experimental physiologists, researching the function of the kidneys and the spinal cord in controlled experiments. His works came to symbolize Greek medicine to the medical scholars of Europe and the Middle East for the next 15 centuries. The most accomplished of all medical researchers of antiquity, he contributed greatly to the understanding of many scientific disciplines including anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, neurology, philosophy, and logic.

Título:
Galen Treating Gladiator
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Galeno (131-201) nació en Asia Menor. Después de recibir formación médica en Esmirna y Alejandría, ganó fama como cirujano de los gladiadores de Pérgamo. Fue llamado a Roma para ser médico del emperador Marco Aurelio y pasó el resto de su vida en la corte escribiendo un enorme corpus de obras médicas. Tomando las nociones de Hipócrates sobre los humores y la patología, incorporó el conocimiento anatómico de destacados alejandrinos. Partidario de la observación y el razonamiento, fue uno de los primeros fisiólogos experimentales, investigando la función de los riñones y la médula espinal en experimentos controlados. Sus obras llegaron a simbolizar la medicina griega para los eruditos médicos de Europa y Oriente Medio durante los siguientes 15 siglos. El más destacado de todos los investigadores médicos de la antigüedad, contribuyó en gran medida a la comprensión de muchas disciplinas científicas, incluidas la anatomía, fisiología, patología, farmacología, neurología, filosofía y lógica.
