 Hippocrates was a philosopher, scientist, writer and a doctor – one the greatest among the bright minds of the Ancient Greek world.
In his healing methods he would always start by close observation of the manifestations of the disease. For the first time ever, Hippocrates was the one to explore the human anatomy and psyche as well. His philosophy was mainly based on prognosis than diagnosis, so he introduced the principles of the Science of treatment of the Body and Mind of Man.
He is recognized to be the “father of medicine” in the Western world. His scientific views as well as his principles on matters of medical morals and ethics were grouped together in 70 essays, known to be the “Hippocratic Corpus”. His most important work is the “Hippocratic Oath”, a complete code-of- ethics vow that even today doctors recite during their graduation in medical schools in Greece and around the world.
