Galen on the Affected Parts : Translation From the Greek. Text with Explanatory Notes

'This book should be available to every medical student embarking upon his clinical studies. Galen encompasses the best Hippocratic teaching; his didactic system loses none of its quality because his theories of physiology are erroneous. Galen applied his mind to the problems of illness, whereas we tend greatly to use illness to demonstrate our technological achievement.'
