What happened at the Hippocrates founds medicine as a discipline
Hippocrates of Kos, active in the late 5th century BCE, is traditionally credited with founding medicine as a rational discipline. He and his school argued that illness arose from natural causes, such as imbalances in bodily fluids, rather than from the anger of gods, and taught doctors to observe symptoms, track the course of disease, and record cases carefully. This body of work, later gathered as the Hippocratic Corpus, also produced the Hippocratic Oath, a statement of ethical duties toward patients. Though many specific theories were later disproven, the emphasis on observation, case history, and professional ethics shaped Western medical practice for centuries afterward.
