Hippocrates was born on the island of Kos in 460 BC. According to tradition, his lineage traced back to Asclepius and Hercules. His ancestors were kings, nobles, 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 represents 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 reason), utilizes experience and rational thought, and adapts his treatment to the specific patient, whom he addresses as a psychosomatic whole. His teachings and work are distinguished by their moral character, the genius of their concepts, and the scientific spirit in medical practice. The unequivocal scientific nature of his work is fully confirmed by modern Medicine.
