• Claudius Galen.
• Claudius Galen was a Greek physician who went to Rome and revived the ideas of Hippocrates and other Greek doctors. The Romans had shown little interest in the work of Hippocrates and it took Galen to push it forward in Rome.
• Galen was born in 131 AD. ... At the age of 28, Galen became the surgeon to a school of gladiators but in 161 AD he moved to Rome apparently with the sole intention of seeking fame and fortune. ... As a Greek, many Romans viewed Galen with suspicion and in 166 AD, he was forced to flee the city. ... With this protection, Galen remained in the city until his death, aged about 70, in 201 AD.
• Galen revived the methods favoured by Hippocrates and other Greek doctors who lived at the time of Hippocrates. ... Galen also accepted the view that disease was the result of an imbalance between blood, phlegm, yellow bile and blood bile. Galen also believed in the healing power of nature and he developed treatments to restore the balance of the four humours. Galen believed in the use of opposites – if a man appeared to have a fever, he treated it with something cold; if a man appeared to have a cold, he would be treated with heat. ...
• Galen extended his knowledge of anatomy by dissecting pigs and apes and studying their bone structure and muscles. Galen was also interested in human anatomy but there is no evidence that he dissected human bodies – though rumours persisted that he did. In "On Anatomical Procedures", Galen advised his students to dissect apes but take whatever opportunities that existed to study the human body. Galen also studied how the body worked, concentrating on the movement of blood and the working of the nervous system. ...
• Galen’s influence was great. ... Galen also believed that his knowledge should be shared and he was a prodigious writer of books. ...

• REMEMBERING GALEN ROWELL.
•    REMEMBERING GALEN ROWELL.
• The death of Galen Rowell, in an August 11 plane crash, was one of the incomprehensible sort. Galen's mother lived to be a centennarian, and Galen, who at 61 was fitter than your average decathlete of 20, figured to go on for at least a century and a half. ...
• Galen and my father, David Brower, had a long mutual admiration. ... The two were alike in having force-of-nature reserves of energy, and Galen's early expression of this was applied to the accelerator. ... Eventually Galen would be able to tease my father about having broken the David Brower Yosemite-to-Berkeley record, which, as I remember it, was an hour and a half. ...
• Galen attended Hillside Elementary School in Berkeley four years ahead of me. ... Marliave, remembers Galen much better than she remembers me. ... That Galen Rowell. ... Galen owned an auto shop before giving up wrench for camera. My brother Bob remembers visiting and watching in amazement as pure nervous energy and joie de vivre sent Galen climbing, like Spiderman, up and around his shop walls and ceilings. ... My sister Barbara, a geographer whose specialty is the Sherpas of Nepal, remembers Galen showing up with Robert Redford at her camp under Mount Everest. Now and again, running in the hills above my home in Oakland, I myself would encounter Galen as he sprinted uphill and past me, disappearing around the bend like Wily Coyote in a cloud of dust. Galen Rowell was peripatetic and inexhaustible and never held still.
• Galen credited my father with being a "shadow mentor," both in rock-climbing and in photography. ... Galen was outraged. ...

• The GALEN-IN-USE Project.
• For up to date information on GALEN technology, see OpenGALEN.

• GALEN-IN-USE was about capturing, representing and communicating clinical meaning for patient-based systems. It contributed to an open multilingual and multicultural environment for clinical systems, culminating in the release of the GALEN Common Reference Model under open source license in November 1999 under the auspices of OpenGALEN. ...
• The direct results of the GALEN-IN-USE project were contracts with the UK NHS and the French Ministry of Health for assistance in development of national classifications and ontologies in the fields of drug dictionaries and surgical procedures.

• If the work of Hippocrates can be taken as representing the foundation of Greek medicine, then the work of Galen, who lived six centuries later, is the apex of that tradition. Galen crystallised all the best work of the Greek medical schools which had preceded his own time. ...

• Collection Bertarelli, Milan Medicatrina, Clinic Scene (above) This illustration accompanying Galen’s work shows the surgical procedures described by Galen--on the head, eye, leg, mouth, bladder and genitals--still practiced in the 16th century.
• Galen hailed from Pergamon, an ancient center of civilization, containing, among other cultural institutions, a library second in importance only to Alexandria itself. Galen’s training was eclectic and although his chief work was in biology and medicine, he was also known as a philosopher and philologist. Training in philosophy is, in Galen’s view, not merely a pleasant addition to, but an essential part of the training of a doctor. ... The profit motive, says Galen, is incompatible with a serious devotion to the art. ... Galen frequently accuses his colleagues of avarice and it is to defend the profession against this charge that he plays down the motive of financial gain in becoming a doctor. Galen’s first professional appointment was as surgeon to the gladiators in Pergamon. ...
• Galen, for all his mistakes, remained the unchallenged authority for over a thousand years. After he died in 203 CE, serious anatomical and physiological research ground to a halt, because everything there was to be said on the subject had been said by Galen, who, it is reported, kept at least 20 scribes on staff to write down his every dictum. Although he was not a Christian, Galen’s writings reflect a belief in only one god, and he declared that the body was an instrument of the soul. ... Galen’s mistakes perpetuated fundamental errors for nearly fifteen hundred years until Vesalius, the sixteenth century anatomist, although he regarded his predecessor with esteem, began to dispel Galen’s authority.

• Perhaps while still in his teens, Galen became a therapeutes or 'attendant' of the healing god Asclepius, whose sanctuary was an important cultural center not only for Pergamum, but also for the entire Roman province of Asia. ...
• In a dream, Galen says, the god told Nicon to allow his son to study medicine, and for the next four years Galen studied with the distinguished physicians who gathered at the sanctuary of Asclepius.
• In 148 or 149 Nicon died, and Galen at 19 found himself rich and independent. ...
• 161 Galen, now 32, may have realized that even a great and prosperous provincial city like Pergamum could not offer the opportunities his talents and ambition demanded. ...
• During his first stay at Rome Galen quickly became part of the intellectual life of the capital. ... In 168, Galen tells us, Marcus and his co-emperor, Lucius Verus, invited him to return from Pergamum and to join them at their headquarters in Aquileia, where they were engaged in military operations against the Quadi and Marcomanni, barbarian tribes threatening the Danubian frontier.
• By the time Galen acted on the emperor's invitation, however, an outbreak of plague had forced Marcus and his court to return to Rome. There Galen joined them. ...
• In 191 a fire in the Temple of Peace, where he had deposited many of his manuscripts for safe-keeping, destroyed important parts of Galen's work. ...
• Galen's works fall into three main categories: medical, philosophical, and philological. ...
• Galen tells us more about himself, his opinions, and his life than any other ancient medical author. ... In his fiery, polemic quest for intellectual and rhetorical supremacy, Galen belongs among the great public intellectuals of the Second Sophistic period.
• It is difficult to overstate the importance of Galen for European medical thought in the centuries between the fall of Rome and modern times. Even as late as 1833, the index to Karl-Gottlob Kühn's edition (still the only nearly complete collection of Galen's Greek works) could be designed for working medical practitioners as well as for classical scholars. Galen absorbed into his work nearly all preceding medical thought and shaped the categories within which his successors thought about not only the history of medicine, but its practice as well.

Galen traveled to the far corners of the world before fully appreciating the beauty of the wildness outside his own door. Galen's 14th book, Living Planet, produced in collaboration with top nature photographers Frans Lanting and David Doubilet, was released in 2000. ... Two new books, North America the Beautiful, and Galen Rowell's Inner Game of Outdoor Photography are scheduled to be released in 2001. ...
• When not shooting for National Geographic, Coastal Living, Audubon, Outdoor Photographer or other publications, Galen is likely to be found either writing at his new Bishop, CA home, climbing in the High Sierra, or at Mountain Light Photography, the company managed by his wife, Barbara, to market Galen's photographs for publication and exhibition.

• Galen was one of the most prominent ancient physicians as well as a philosopher (though most of his philosophical writings are lost). ...
• Galen's Critical Empiricism .
• Galen of Pergamum was a physician who was born around 129 A. ... Throughout Galen's life, he avowed a devotion to Asclepius. ... Galen's father, Nicon, was a prosperous architect. This allowed Galen the leisure to get an education and choose a path of life unencumbered by the need to earn money. However, this affluence did not mean that Galen was brought up "soft" (as per Plato's discussion in the Republic 544b-570e in which he discusses the devolution of political systems due to the decay of personal arête). Galen's education was broad and directed by his father. Galen studied in mathematics (a particular favorite of his father), grammar, logic, and philosophy--that included inquiry into the four major schools of the time: the Platonists, the Peripatetics, the Stoics, and the Epicureans. This pluralistic sensibility influenced the philosophical/scientific method of Galen. ...
• Galen began his study of medicine around the age of sixteen when his father had a dream suggesting this direction. Galen traveled to Smyrna and Corinth to study with both a Rationalist and with an Empiricist. When Galen's father died, Galen traveled to Egypt (Alexandria) where he lived for perhaps five years (152-157). What Galen might have studied in Alexandria is highly speculative. However, Galen, himself, later declares that students should "look at the human skeleton with your own eyes. ... Whether Galen also studied anatomy this way is unclear. It is clear that Galen (at least) engaged in comparative anatomy by dissecting monkeys. ...
