The Tree of Life
 |
This image represents the split in the classical Greek medical lineage. The Tree of Life represents the Healing Arts. On the right is Hippocrates holding in his right hand a flowering branch symbolizing the vitalist schools. In the patriarch' s left hand is the text of the Hippocratic Cannon. On the left is Galen holding the withered branch of a reductionist, mechanistic appproach to medicine. |
