It is insane that he knew so much even without opening up humans. Even more so than those hundreds of years later who were actually observing human organs.
The title is a bit misleading. Galen was way ahead of his times but calling him "notorious" just because he made some mistakes that were totally unintentional was kinda absurd.
For me, the title of the video is not misleading. It's quite like a conundrum. In the entire video, I analyze who's more worthy to be called as the most notorious doctor, and I supposed that it is Vesalius, not Galen who was feared and extolled during the ancient times. Just my viewpoint. ✌

Way to go, leaving out one of his most important innovations: applying observation to the study and treatment of illness rather than using ritual to drive out bad influences. He might not have gotten everything correct but he was a damn sight further along than his contemporaries.
Why call him "notorious"? From what is stated in the video he advanced medicine far more than anyone of his time had, especially given the constraints. Yes, he was very wrong about some things, but it's not his fault the medical community took his writing as absolute fact for the following 13 centuries.
That's modern dogma of science. Silencing and deplatforming everyone that doesnt agree with their current, always-right, set of laws. They are right in many instances such as global warming, but they still doesnt know anything, and pretend they do in their materialistic arrogance.
@@ANJROTmania Scientists do not pretend that they know everything. That would be religion. Modern science requires freedom of speech but if someone doesn't agree with the currently accepted ideas they better have solid evidence to support their own ideas. If you simply state "That is wrong" without reason to believe it is and without offering an alternative no scientist will take you seriously.
Whenever i click on a ted ed video, I just listen to the first 15 seconds to see if the narrator is Addison Anderson. If it is, then I keep watching. I know I'm not the only one
Before anyone cries out against animal abuse, let’s thank Galen for laying down the basics. Sometimes, a few uncomfortable facts create a comfortable future
this raises an interesting question on the disadvantages of talent, his discoveries were extremely important because of how good he was but because he was so good people trusted him to much and it arguably hindered the field more then it helped
"Place evidence over ego." We need this mindset in more than just science. If we allow politics or economics to be consumed by ego rather than evidence, then the powerful will force scientists to abandon their scruples.
Ancient Patient: _Hey doctor! I've high fever,sweating, diarrhea, headache.._ Doctor: _Don't worry! Its Malaria!_ Patient: _Come'n everybody! This a witch!!!_
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.
Definitely took my Netter's anatomy textbook for granted in med school. It's so interesting to learn a bit about the history and evolution of the practice of medicine.
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.
Videos like these are so interesting. I hope you guys can make more videos about discoveries and inventions from Asia though. I think people concentrate too much on famous Roman and Greek thinkers or inventors
should've mentionned ibn al-nafis he was an arab-syrian physician in the 13th century he recognised that blood moved from the right to the left side of the heart via the lungs. This was revolutionary, in that it corrected some of the mistakes Galen had made when describing the role of the heart and blood.
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.)
The title seemed to be saying that ancient Rome’s most notorious doctor WAS Ramon Glazov! Knowing that couldn’t be true led me to click, and I found some interesting information!
p.s. the video title makes it seems this video is about a doctor called Ramon Azov. It should have the name of the actual doctor referenced in the title, Galen of Pergamon.
It's amazing to see someone's massive contributions to science possibly have been the reason that science was stunted at a later date due to nobody wanting to challenge his findings.
Can you believe that today’s high school student knows more than the doctors and scholars of the olden days that’s amazing how science has come along so far that even the youngsters know I wish I could send one of the youngsters back in time to talk with one of the philosophers of the doctors and see what they say once the child tells them wrong it’s actually this way that way
But physics is just the laws of nature. And for us to always have something new to learn, there must be an infinite number of laws. How can an infinite number of laws govern a finite system?
