Hippocrates

Hippocrates, often referred to as the "Father of Medicine," was an ancient Greek physician born around 460 BCE on the island of Kos. He is best known for establishing medicine as a profession distinct from other fields such as theurgy and philosophy, emphasizing a rational and systematic approach to medical treatment. Hippocrates is traditionally associated with the Hippocratic Oath, a foundational statement of medical ethics still referenced today.
