Hippocrates was a Greek physician born in 460 BC on the  island of Cos, Greece. He became known as the founder of medicine  and was regarded as the greatest physician of hisâ¦ time. He based  his medical practice on observations and on the study of the human  body.
Many of the invaluable lessons prescribed in that place of learning are assigned to Hippocrates. If that was the case, then it truly was Hippocrates, with his approach to healing and the role of the doctor, that influenced western medicine for thousands of years.
