Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many centuries in ancient history, people believed illnesses were handed down by the gods. In the fifth century BCE, a Greek physician named Hippocrates changed that attitude. He began looking for natural causes of illnesses. Many of his treatment methods seem primitive. For example, he performed brain surgery by drilling into a patient s skull with a sharp piece of wood. There were no anesthetics. It was a very painful procedure. >In other ways his methods have held up surprisingly well. Like modern doctors, Hippocrates emphasized the value of a good diet and plenty of exercise. He also used maggots, leeches, and bees to treat his patients. All three of these creatures are still being used by doctors even in the United States. >Because of his efforts, today Hippocrates is known as the Father of Medicine.

Download or read book Hippocrates Now written by Helen King and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-14 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is available as open access through the Knowledge Unlatched programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. We need to talk about Hippocrates. Current scholarship attributes none of the works of the 'Hippocratic corpus' to him, and the ancient biographical traditions of his life are not only late, but also written for their own promotional purposes. Yet Hippocrates features powerfully in our assumptions about ancient medicine, and our beliefs about what medicine – and the physician himself – should be. In both orthodox and alternative medicine, he continues to be a model to be emulated. This book will challenge widespread assumptions about Hippocrates (and, in the process, about the history of medicine in ancient Greece and beyond) and will also explore the creation of modern myths about the ancient world. Why do we continue to use Hippocrates, and how are new myths constructed around his name? How do news stories and the internet contribute to our picture of him? And what can this tell us about wider popular engagements with the classical world today, in memes, 'quotes' and online?
Download or read book Hippocrates written by Marcia Amidon Lusted and published by Mitchell Lane. This book was released on 2019-09-04 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hippocrates, who was born in 460 BCE and lived during the Golden Age of Greece, is known as the Father of Modern Medicine. He is responsible for changing the way that ancient Greeks thought about medicine. No longer were illnesses seen as punishments from the gods or the result of superstition. Hippocrates’ method of treating illnesses was based on observation. His ideas that the parts of the body functioned as a whole in sickness and in health were an important foundation for modern medicine. Even today, new doctors take a Hippocratic Oath based on Hippocrates’ work and philosophy. Hippocrates’ life included both the gods of ancient Greece and the ideas that helped start modern science. Even thousands of years after his death, he is still remembered for his important contributions to medicine.
Download or read book Hippocrates written by Herbert Goldberg and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-02 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reader is given a concept of the life and times when Hippocrates lived. The professions and trades during Hippocrates time are described as well as the early education of youth in ancient Greece. Medicines were not based on science but on driving evil spirits from the body. Hippocrates' scientific approach to the study and treatment of disease has deservedly earned for him the title 'Father of Medicine". He was born on the island of Cos in 460 B.C., and his works remained for centuries the foundation of medical and biographical knowledge. In addition, it was Hippocrates' daring approach to the problems of sickness and disease that drove the opening wedge into the wall of fear that surrounded human ills. Hippocrates' scrupulous attention to professional ethics is honored even to this day by the medical oath that bears his name-'The Hippocratic Oath". 'Desperate diseases need desperate remedies". 'One man's meat is another man's poison"-these well known sayings by Hippocrates were a direct attack on human suffering. Hippocrates also wrote books on epidemics and stressed the importance of diet in combating them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Airs, Waters, And Places Hippocrates Hippocrates of Kos, 460 - c. 370 BC, also known as Hippocrates II, was a Greek physician of the Age of Pericles, Classical Greece, and is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. He is often referred to as the "Father of Medicine"[1] in recognition of his lasting contributions to the field as the founder of the Hippocratic School of Medicine. This intellectual school revolutionized medicine in ancient Greece, establishing it as a discipline distinct from other fields with which it had traditionally been associated theurgy and philosophy, thus establishing medicine as a profession.

Download or read book Hippocrates written by Hippocrates and published by . This book was released on 1927 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hippocrates, said to have been born in Cos in or before 460 BCE, learned medicine and philosophy; travelled widely as a medical doctor and teacher; was consulted by King Perdiccas of Macedon and Artaxerxes of Persia; and died perhaps at Larissa. Apparently he rejected superstition in favour of inductive reasoning and the study of real medicine as subject to natural laws, in general and in individual people as patients for treatment by medicines and surgery. Of the roughly 70 works in the Hippocratic Collection," many are not by Hippocrates; even the famous oath may not be his. But he was undeniably the "Father of Medicine."
