Die Geschichte der Medizin: Was Hippokrates wusste und wir vergessen haben!

Why did Stone Age people survive trepanation without anesthesia, while patients in 19th-century hospitals died in droves? What did Ötzi the Iceman carry in his pouch? And what would Hippocrates say if he opened a German refrigerator today? You asked for it, and here it is: the big episode about the history of medicine. Michael Schulte and Dr. Michael Spitzbart travel from the Stone Age, through Ötzi, all the way to antiquity, to Hippocrates on the island of Kos. They discuss trepanation with flint, the first surgical film in cinematic history, and the question of why knowledge was lost over centuries. They delve into the four humors theory, which was considered science for 1,500 years, yet was ultimately wrong. And they tackle the uncomfortable question of what this says about the phrase "Follow the Science." Dr. Spitzbart explains why Hippocrates attributed disease to the gods and brought it back into the body, what the Peripatetic school of thought has to do with oxygen in the brain, and why he considers the distinction between food and nourishment to be one of the most important points of all. He also shares his perspective on peptides, polypharmacy, and the fundamental principle: first, do no harm. Finally, he answers two questions from the community: How do you really raise your protein levels? And what does he think of the shingles vaccine?
