Hippocratic Medicine

This chapter analyzes Hippocratic medicine, especially Hippocratic corpus. In the sentence of Hippocratic corpus, medicine becomes practical and secular, and that theory explains the natural cause of illness and discussion of medical practice and occupational ethics. In this chapter we will explain the basic theoretical and ethical changes in medical science after Hippocrates. It is important to remember that the Hippocratic corpus is not a single writer's text, but rather a compilation of works by many authors with characteristics similar to Hippocrates of Cos.

Ancient Greek medicine is medical practice and belief in ancient Greek culture. His research can be divided into two major developmental periods, the previous Hippocrates and the post Hippocrates. Prior to Hippocrates, Hippocrates paid much attention to spiritualism rather than empiricism before the contributions of the 5th and 4th centuries B.C. Greeks use raw herbs, but they do surgery and disinfection, but diseases and other physical diseases usually result from God. Therefore, the primary responsibility of a doctor is to pray for the patient and pray to God for treatment.

Hippocrates medicine and its philosophy are far from modern medicine. Currently, physicians focus on specific diagnosis and professional treatment. Both are supported by Knidian School. This change in medical thinking since the Hippocratic era has caused severe criticism during the past 2000 years and the passive nature of Hippocrates is particularly subject to strong criticism; the bottom treatment is " It is meditation after death.

Now, as you may have noticed, European medicine is backed by humorism, the core of Hippocrates medicine. Hippocrates medicine itself developed from the tradition of natural philosophy of Greece. Although Hippocrates clearly had that name the subject, Hippocrates - a series of 60 papers on medicine - was developed by some authors and summarized around 250 BC. Later, Galen appeared around the year 129 AD, slightly updated these ideas in particular with respect to anatomy and pharmacology theory, but it is still a standard of humor theory.
