The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates is often referred to as the "Father of Medicine." He lived during the Classical Greece period from around 460 BCE to 370 BCE. Hippocrates made significant contributions to the field of medicine and is credited with laying the foundation for modern medical practice. He advocated for an empirical and observational approach to medicine, emphasizing the importance of clinical observation and recording symptoms. Hippocrates also established ethical standards for physicians through his teachings and writings, including the famous Hippocratic Oath, which remains influential in medical ethics to this day. His holistic approach to medicine, focusing on the patient's overall well-being, has had a lasting impact on medical practice and the study of medicine.
