Hippocrates bust father of modern medicine 8.70"/22cm handmade buying white alabaster

HIPPOCRATES Bust Statue Greek Material: Alabaster Height: 8.70" (22.00cm) Weight: 1250gr Hippocrates of Kos (460 – 370 BC), also known as Hippocrates II was a Greek Physician of the Age Of Pericles (Classical Greece), who is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. He is often referred to as the"Father of Medicine" in recognition of his lasting contributions to the field as the founder of the Hippocratic School of Medicine. This intellectual school revolutionized Ancient Greek Medicine establishing it as a discipline distinct from other fields with which it had traditionally been associated (theurgy and philosophy), thus establishing medicine as a profession. However, the achievements of the writers of the Corpus, the practitioners of Hippocratic medicine, and the actions of Hippocrates himself were often conflated; thus very little is known about what Hippocrates actually thought, wrote, and did. Hippocrates is commonly portrayed as the paragon of the ancient physician and credited with coining the Hippocratic Oath, which is still relevant and in use today. He is also credited with greatly advancing the systematic study of clinical medicine, summing up the medical knowledge of previous schools, and prescribing practices for physicians through the Hippocratic Coprus and other works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you are satisfied with our products and Services please leave a positive Feedback, it will give us power to continue create unique products!
