Episode description
In the 5th century B.C. a new form of medicine emerged in the ancient world. This new 'Hippocratic' medicine emerged to sweep away traditional medicine, at least in learned circles, and would become the basis for the more scientific medicine which would develop in the future. Along the way we will also explore the work of Galen, the greatest doctor of antiquity, and discover how his influence would ensure the triumph of Hippocratic medicine.
