Hippocrates
  1. The Hippocratic Oath
    1. The Hippocratic Oath is an oath historically taken by physicians.
      1. It is one of the most widely known of Greek medical texts
        1. In its original form, it requires a new physician to swear, by a number of healing gods, to uphold specific ethical standards.
        2. The Four Humour Theory
          1. blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm
            1. These were in turn associated with the fundamental elements of air, water, earth and fire.
              1. It was further proposed that each of the humours was associated with a particular season of the year.
                1. The treatments for disease within humoral theory were concerned with restoring balance
                2. Observation and Recording
                  1. Ancient Greek doctors did examine their patients but Hippocrates wanted a more systematic period of observation and the recording of what was observed
                    1. Today, we would call this ‘clinical observation’. Such ideas have lead to Hippocrates being called the ‘Father of Medicine’.
                    2. The Hippocratic Collection
                      1. This is a collection of sixty medical books of which Hippocrates wrote just some.
                        1. We do not know who wrote most of them but they cover a time span of 150 years so they could not have all been written by Hippocrates.
                          1. The Hippocratic Collection gave Greek doctors detailed advice on what to do with their patients:
                          2. Beliefs
                            1. Hippocrates and other Greek doctors believed that the work done by a doctor should be kept separate from the work done by a priest
                              1. They believed that observation of a patient was a vital aspect of medical care.
