- Where did our modern medicine come from? To answer that question, we have to go back in time to antiquity, and say hello to some figures you may have heard of like Hippocrates and Galen. Join me in a series where I do a brief survey of the history of western medicine. Everything mentioned in this video could have an entire series all on its own, so I encourage you to use this as a basis for your own further research.

So glad I found this channel! History Calling and Allan Barton the Antiquary are my favorites and now you’re right up there with them. Calm, rational, interesting, and academic without being dry…all the things I love. So eager to see what you lecture on next and where you’ll go with your thoughts about how further to show how man really doesn’t change. Despite changing knowledge and science, existence remains the same fascinating human predicament. And you bring this to light very well. Thank you!

Can't wait to see the videos you are planning!
Thank you for the quality historical lecture, keep making contents at your own pace. Your channel rise to fame will be due eventually if the quality is around this video's level
Deeply interesting and well made video. Thanks
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. I hope I can study history with a focus on medieval history like you did as well
I highly encourage it!
Great episode, I enjoyed having this philosophy ecplained so well!
Awesome content, can’t wait to dive into the rest of the channel
Great teaching. Thank you!
I find the ancient Greek rational method to be very interesting. You can see kinda where they were coming from. No, they weren't totally right, but there was thought and a certain flawed logic. Maybe a better way to put it is that you can see how medical professionals now and physicians then go through the same processes of diagnosis, of finding cures even if the associations and applied cures are often very, *very* different. But at the same time, they weren't completely wrong. How often do modern, everyday people hear about diet and exercise as part of a healthy routine. It's interesting to see where the logic connects and how it differs.
Completely agree! It's one of the reasons why it's such an interesting topic of study
Wow, your channel is amazing and deeply informative upon so many topics I'm passionate about as well!! In my astrological herbalism course, the instructor is getting deep into medical astrology, incorporating western clinical herbalism with Ayurveda, Chinese herbalism, various global indigenous practices and other early forms of holistic healing. I'm still not really sold on astrology, but it's very interesting, as many of the tissue states you mentioned are the basis of what he's teaching us, so it was really nice to hear them mentioned in this wonderfully put together presentation and context. The wealth of knowledge you posses is evident in your videos, which are so very refreshing, compared to the majority of the trendy, click-bate vids out there. I can tell you are very passionate about this time in history and have attained much wisdom and understanding of what it was actually like for people living in these times. Thanks for the rich content!! Love it!! I'm inspired to start my old podcast back up again on all things healing, esoteric and transformative!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!! :)
Thank you for the incredibly kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I wish you all the best with your own studies
