Galen's Philosophy of Medicine

Razi is a very interesting figure in that area so obviously you're right in saying that nowadays we still debate how can we discover drugs. He occupies a middle ground like Galen and there are things in which he's very innovative for instance when talking about frenites brain fever mentioned earlier. When dealing with this condition he said that once he tried to bleed to phlebotomize to bleed one group of patients and they did not contract the disease. And another time he talks about statistics he talks about large chords of patients. So in different ways so to speak he finds ways to refine that theory about medical epistemology which he inherits from the Greeks and there too he innovates.
