We know about Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine. But we owe nearly as much to Galen, a physician born in 129 A.D. at the height of the Roman Empire. Galen's acute diagnoses of patients, botanical wisdom, and studies of physiology were recorded in numerous books, handed down through the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Not least, Galen passed on the medical tradition of respect for life. In this fascinating biography for young people, Jeanne Bendick brings Galen's Roman world to life with the clarity, humor, and outstanding content we enjoyed in Archimedes and the Door to Science. An excellent addition to the home, school and to libraries.
Illustrated by the Author.
Galen and the Gateway to Medicine edition by Jeanne Bendick Children eBooks
This is a wonderful tribute to ancient medicine, with Galen as the central figure, who as a Greek and Roman physician tries to break the bonds of ritualistic medicine and present to his students through forensic reasoning, how the human body worked; his experience with gladiator wounds led to his more modern view of medicine at a time when there was no X-Rays, wonder drugs, M.R.I.'s,, thus he used reasoning and his I.Q. to repair bones, close wounds, with honey...honey breaks down into hydrogen peroxide. Great book, easy to read, and if you love medicine, it will astound the current physician with Galen's understanding of clean water and good sanitation.Product details

Galen and the Gateway to Medicine edition by Jeanne Bendick Children eBooks Reviews
Thank you.
I would recommend this book for all ages this book is illustrated perfectly and it gives you a better understanding of how medicine started
This was an excellent book. Interesting, concise, cute pictures. The book was very well-edited to include interesting information about not only Galen, but a general overview of what came before him and the times he lived in. Thank you!
My nine-year-old really likes this book. He also read one of her other books....Archimedes and the Door to Science and really liked that one too.
I bought this for my 11 y.o. son for our reading time (home school). We both enjoyed reading about this fascinating character from history. The flow of the book as well as the organization made the large amounts of information easy to digest. Follows Galen through his life, then continues on to look at those who eventually disproved his key ideas. Highly recommend.
I had my 12 year son read this book for ancient world history because he loved the Archimedes book. He said it was an interesting, but sometimes boring historical read. He believes it was written for older students who are more familiar with scientific and biological terms. That is why he would rate it 4 stars.
When I read her Archimedes title, I was surprised that a book I bought for my kids captured my imagination as well. Even now several months later, I remember the story of his irrigation screw, how Archimedes used pulleys to move a ship, how he figured out that the king's crown was not pure gold, and his invention of more advanced weaponry to protect his city.
This story of Galen was not quite as engaging or memorable, or perhaps it's just because I had higher expectations at this point? All I remember from the story after reading it several days ago is that Galen was an amazing physician, an authority for many centuries, and all the ways ancient medicine was wrong (four humors, how the left and right chambers of the heart were connected, etc). Perhaps it's because medicine was less accessible to Galen than physics was to Archimedes - but I didn't enjoy this book as much as Archimedes.
This is a wonderful tribute to ancient medicine, with Galen as the central figure, who as a Greek and Roman physician tries to break the bonds of ritualistic medicine and present to his students through forensic reasoning, how the human body worked; his experience with gladiator wounds led to his more modern view of medicine at a time when there was no X-Rays, wonder drugs, M.R.I.'s,, thus he used reasoning and his I.Q. to repair bones, close wounds, with honey...honey breaks down into hydrogen peroxide.
