The episode revolves around the history of anatomy, and how surgery and anatomy succeeded in changing the ancient medicine that relied mainly on Hippocrates and Galenos, both of which laid the foundations of medicine without using anatomy or carefully examining the human body, creating misconceptions about the body and disease.
The episode ultimately tries to answer the anatomy question now, is anatomy still an indispensable tool in teaching medicine or have modern alternatives such as holo-anatomy and virtual anatomy emerged to replace it.
