His full name is Hippocrates Asclepiades, which means "god doctor Asclepios". Around 400 BC, he founded a medical school, with his disciples devised a scientific method to examine and treat patients. The physician must directly examine the patient and find the disease through the manifest symptoms, must pick up the prescription and then monitor to see if the treatment is effective or not. At this point many medicinal methods of Hippocrates were developed. Historians believe that Hippocrates traveled across continental Greece and possibly Libya and Egypt as well, to practice medicine.
To date, much of what is known about the method of medicine comes from a collection of more than 60 Hippus Corpus medical books, considered to be the oldest works of medicine. The collection was compiled 100 years after his death. Historians believe that the material will be of help to physicians in the practice of medicine throughout later life.
Hippocrates' writings state the view that "healthy diet and physical exercise are an effective remedy for most illnesses". Hippocrates pointed out how to locate joints, the importance of keeping a record of history and treatment, the relationship between weather and certain diseases. Doctors at that time only observed the patient, based on what could be seen or felt outside. They also do experiments on animals to compare with humans, but absolutely no experiments on humans are lost.
"The Hippocrates Oath" is a familiar document of medical and ethical practice. Initially, Hippocrates was noted with an oath. Later, newer studies showed that it was practiced by doctors of the next generation after his death.
Some Hippocrastes' documents to date are no longer suitable to apply to modern medicine, but still exist as the foundation for which medical graduates take an oath at the beginning of their careers. Some of the basic tenets of the oath include the practice of medicine to the best of one's ability, sharing knowledge with other doctors, a compassionate attitude, compassion, respect for patient privacy. and help prevent disease whenever possible.
