Galen learned from doctors such as Hippocrates about the four humors.
He thought Hippocrates was the model doctor, and that what he wrote could be trusted. However, Galen was selective in which of the many treatises attributed to Hippocrates he took as 'genuine'. Those that best fitted Galen's own view of the body were - no surprises here! - the ones he decided were really by Hippocrates!
yes, he did even galen did.
yeah
Yes! The National Library of Medicine has a lot of good information on other ancient Greek doctors such as Galen, Dioscorides, Pythagoras (who is better known for his work in mathematics), and Artemidorus.
Hippocrates was born in Greece in 460 B.C. He learned medicine from his father and grandfather. Hippocrates developed a strict medical philosophy. Dissecting a human body was taboo in ancient Greece. He was one of the first doctors to believe that disease wasn't a punishment from the gods.
Hippocrates came first, as he lived from around 460 to 370 BCE, while Galen lived later, from 129 to around 216 CE. Hippocrates is often referred to as the "Father of Medicine" and is known for his contributions to the systematic study of clinical medicine. Galen built upon Hippocratic ideas and made significant advancements in anatomy and physiology during the Roman Empire.
To conclude both men were very important to medical knowledge they both made some important ideas But Hippocrates is the founder and father of medicine, without him Galen would never have been able to progress history as he did, Hippocrates theories set out medical development throughout time.
Medical doctors still take the Hippocratic oath that they will practice honestly, and they use many of the same kinds of instruments as Hippocrates and other Greek doctors did
