Document Summary

This shows how good galen is at diagnosing. Galen came to rome at the beginning of his career. He goes to see a patient who is a physician himself. He is proud to be acquainted with philosophers as well. A prognosis is to know the past, present, and future this goes back to homer with the seer. Galen is able to make prognoses because he has a good knowledge of how the body functions. Only a physician who knows the meaning of signs and symptoms can interpret them. The person has a sign of weakened liver function the liver probably has some kind of dyskrasia and improper mixture of qualities. The weakness of the liver (of autorative faculty) would be the main symptom and the disease would be the dyskrasia. So one organ could have an organic disease or a homiomere disease, and one disease can lead to another disease. The patient also has a theory about his disease.
