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.
