Hippocrates was born on Cos in 460 BC. According to tradition, his ancestry traced back to Asclepius and Hercules. His ancestors were kings, rulers, and priest-physicians. He initially practiced medicine in his hometown and then traveled to many places. He died in Thessaly at an advanced age, around 90 years old. Hippocrates marks a turning point in the history of Medicine. With him begins the era of 'scientific medicine,' as the term science is understood today.
He combines the two sources of knowledge (sensation and intellect), utilizing experience and rational thought, adjusting his treatment to the specific patient, whom he treats as a psychophysical whole. His teachings and works are distinguished by their ethical character, the brilliance of his concepts, and the scientific genius in medical practice. The pure scientific nature of his work is fully confirmed by modern Medicine.
