希波克拉提斯(前460年～西元前377?年)
Hippocrates
被誉为医学之夫的希腊医生。与他同时代的柏拉图两次提到他，暗示他是个着名的医生。亚里斯多德的一个学生米诺说，希波克拉提斯相信疾病是由不消化的食物所分泌的蒸汽造成的。他的哲学是要把人体看成一个整体。很明显，他走过希腊和小亚西亚的许多地方，行医并授业。据说《希波克拉提斯文集》属於一所医学院的图书馆（可能在他的出生地科斯），後来转到亚历山大里亚图书馆。现在还留下大约六十篇手稿，其中不知道那些真正出自他手，最早的是在10世纪发现的。文集的内容涉及解剖、临床、妇幼疾病、预後、药物疗法、手术以及医学道德等。希波克拉提斯誓言（实际上非他所写）也是希波克拉提斯文集的一部分。

前460年～西元前377?年
Hippocrates
Greek physician regarded as the father of medicine. Plato, his contemporary, referred to him twice and implied that he was famous as a physician. Meno, a pupil of Aristotle, stated that Hippocrates believed that disease was caused by the excreted vapors of undigested food. His philosophy was to see the body as a whole. He apparently traveled widely in Greece and Asia Minor, practicing and teaching. The “Hippocratic Collection” supposedly belonged to the library of a medical school (probably at Cos, Hippocrates' birthplace) and then to the library at Alexandria. An unknown proportion of the 60 or so surviving manuscripts—the earliest dating from the 10th century AD—are actually by Hippocrates. The collection deals with anatomy, clinical subjects, diseases of women and children, prognosis, treatment, surgery, and medical ethics. The Hippocratic Oath (not actually written by Hippocrates), also part of the Hippocratic Collection, is divided into two major sections, the first setting out the physician's obligations to his students and his pupils' duties to him, the second pledging him to prescribe only beneficial treatments, refrain from causing harm or hurt, and live an exemplary life.
