Famous doctor seen from a new angle (5)

I believe the answer is:

galen

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'famous doctor' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'a new angle' is the wordplay.
'a new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'angle' with letters rearranged gives 'GALEN'.

'seen from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for galen that I've seen is " Ancient Greek anatomist, d.199 - angel (anag)".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
