father of medicine
A Greek physician from the Era of Pericles (Classical Greece), Hippocrates of Kos, also known as Hippocrates II, is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. As the founder of the Hippocratic School of Medicine, he is sometimes referred to as the' Father of Medicine' in recognition of his enduring contributions to the field. Ancient Greek medicine was revolutionized by this intellectual academy, defining it as a discipline independent from other fields with which it was historically affiliated (theurgy and philosophy), thereby creating medicine as a profession.
