- Resum
- Galen treated both urban and rural patients from a range of social classes. He was physician to the gladiators at Pergamum for four years. Later, from 169, he was employed as paid physician to the imperial household and prepared theriac for the emperor, but this was only a small part of his practice. He treated some patients in their homes, and house calls were part of his daily routine, but patients also came to his clinic at his house. Galen used a range of diagnostic techniques, including taking the pulse and examining bodily fluids. He treated patients with diet and regimen, drugs, surgery, and venesection but probably left most surgical procedures to specialists. He lost his most precious drug ingredients and most of his collection of drug recipes in the fire of 192 CE.
