Patient, heal thyself
|
Hippocrates (B.C. 460 – 377), the Greek physician known as the Father of Medical Education was responsible for achieving a breakthrough in the healing arts from the superstitious to the practical. For the first time in history, he turned the healing arts into a scientific subject based on observation and reasoning. In popular memory, he is widely known for his most famous saying that it is more important to know the person than the disease the person has.
|
Hippocrates was born in the island of Cos in the Asia Minor. He studied under his physician father and taught and practised medicine in the Cos island. He is credited with writing fifty-eight works that are arranged in seventy-three books now known as the Corpus. Many scholars believe that most of his writings were actually written by his pupils and later physicians.
|
Works of Hippocrates cover a wide variety of subjects from pathology, physiology, embryology and gynecology to surgery. His better known books are Aphorisms, Airs, Waters and Places. These books mark the beginning of systematic medical enquiry in Greece. He covered subjects ranging from cranial surgery to cataract operations including such minute symptoms as the faint noise emanating from the chest when pleurisy was present. He said, it sounded like the rubbing of leather.

|
Hippocrates stood far above the rest for several centuries for his down-to-earth curative practices. His belief that human body was a single organism and each part could be understood in the context of the whole was a watermark in medical knowledge. He believed that the power of healing rested with every person. He also held that the way a person lived affected his or her health. He believed that disease was caused by incomplete digestion. “Let food be your medicine,” he declared with supreme confidence.
