Because of his autobiographical recollections, Galen is an exceptional witness of physicians' public activities in Rome at the time of the Second Sophistic. His accounts of his anatomical demonstrations and of his public instruction vividly demonstrate the place of rhetoric and of improvisation in these performances. It likewise illustrates his contacts with the audience and his encounters with the sophists. With respect to this activity, Galen himself had contradictory feelings. Although he gave it up quite soon, he remained profoundly marked by it.
由于他的自传性回忆，盖伦是罗马在第二次诡辩派时期医生公共活动的一个特殊见证者。他对自己解剖演示和公开教学的描述生动地展示了修辞和即兴发挥在这些表演中的地位。这同样说明了他与观众的接触以及他与诡辩家的相遇。关于这项活动，盖伦本人有着矛盾的感受。尽管他很快就放弃了，但它给他留下了深刻的印记。
