GCSE History: Hippocrates, Galen & the Christian Church | Why did Medicine stand still? (2018)

Why was medical progress so slow? What was holding it back.

In this lesson we focus on the control of the Christian Church in spreading medical knowledge. Galen and Hippocrates are shown to be the basis of medical knowledge for over a millennium.

The channel is to help teachers and students alike, let me know what you would like to see in terms of content.

Was the Christian Church a help or a hindrance to medical advancement? Comment below

Mate i’m gonna copy and paste these on all your videos that I watched cos u need to see it. I had an awful history teacher that taught my class the completely wrong content and technique therefore i only managed to get a 5 in history in the mocks, I watched your history content and technique videos religiously at least 3 times (per video) per day even when i wasn’t listening to them i just put them on in the background, I went into the exam semi confident but not really, I only expected a 7, come results day i have gotten a 9 in history scorning 150/168, i wanna thank you so much for your videos they are so informative and helpful, keep doing what you’re doing!
