Bwahaha, why thank you. Yeah, I think the old boy used to dig up dead bodies and cut them open. Medicine 101: Claudius Galenus style.

Well we don't know how Galen operated but let's be honest - if you knew enough to wash your hands, boil your surgical equipment and not to bleed your patient to death - you would have been a better surgeon than most over the past 3000 years. Perhaps this was Galen's secret.
Agreed. He was a brilliant man in truth. An egotist apparently, but brilliant nonetheless. I would imagine being a physician to gladiators would teach you a thing or two quite quickly.
