HIPPOCRATES
“THE FATHER OF MEDICINE"

Hippocrates was born in 460 B. C. on the island (OCTpOB)
of Cos. He was the son of a doctor. Hippocrates studied
medicine and then he went from town to town where he
practiced the art of medicine. It is known that he drove out
(изгнал) the plague [pleig] (чума) from Athens by lighting
fires in the street of the city.

Hippocrates was known as an excellent doctor and a
teacher of medicine. He established medical schools in
Athenes and in other towns. He wrote several books and
many case histories (история болезни). Hippocrates taught
his pupils to examine the patient very attentively and to give
him quick help. He created medicine on the basis of
experience. He taught that every disease was a natural process
and it had natural causes. Hippocrates treated diseases by
exercise, massage, salt water baths, diet and suitable (подходящий) medicine. He observed diseases such a
pneumonia, tuberculosis and malaria and added to the
medical language such words as chronic, crisis, relapse (pe-
цидив) and convalescence (выздоровлении).

Hippocrates made medicine an art, a science and a
profession.

Hippocrates is the most famous of all the Greek doctors.
He is often called “the father of Medicine” and some of his
ideas are still important.

Doctors in many countries take the Hippocratic Oath
(клятва). It is a collection of promises (обещание), written
by Hippocrates, which forms the basis of the medical code
of honour (кодекс чести). The Oath of Hippocrates contains
many of his basic thoughts and principles.
