What have Galen learned from doctors such as Hippocrates?

How important was the influence of Hippocrates on Roman and medieval medicine?
very influential indeed,Hippocrates was born around the year 460 BC on the Greekisland of Cos and became a famous ambassador for medicine against the strong opposing infrastructure of Greece. For this opposition he endured a 20-year prison sentence during which he wrote well known medical works such as 'The Complicated Body', encompassing many of the things we know to be true today. During medieval times the church was the main medical care and because of this Hippocrates theories were taught because Hippocrates had the church in mind at all times and his treatment usually involved God or the bible. This is how Hippocrates influenced medicine in medieval times. Galen was also a philosopher but in the Roman times. He took the ideas of Hippocrates and tested them and thought like Hippocrates did making him find new discoveries such as the anatomy of the human body and how to treat a lot of sickness using Hippocrates 4 humors theory, Galen took this theory and came up with the theory of opposites introducing if one of the humors would low or high you would have to even them out to become better. Because Galen used Hippocrates theory it influenced Roman medicine greatly.
