Hippocrates, a
Greek physician (circa 460 to 377 B.C.) is traditionally revered as the
Father of Medicine. Few details of his life are known to us. It seems that he
was the son of a physician and that he traveled widely in Greece and Asia
Minor, teaching and practicing his art of medicine.
The Hippocratic collection
of writings is generally attributed to him, but is more likely that it
constituted a library of the medical school at Kos where he taught. The
collection deals with clinical subjects, anatomy, diseases of women and
children, treatments through diet and herbs, prognosis, surgery and medical
ethics. The latter gave rise to the famous Hippocratic Oath which is
sworn to by modern physicians.
