Hippocrates
Hippocrates (circa 460-370 BC) is often referred to as the 'Father of Medicine' and is one of the most celebrated figures in the history of medicine. He is best known for the Hippocratic Corpus, a collection of texts that laid the foundations for clinical medicine and ethics. His approach emphasized observation and clinical practice, and he is credited with the Hippocratic Oath, which is still relevant in medical ethics today.
