Hippocrates
Hippocrates, born around 460 BC in Greece, is called the "father of modern medicine." He created the Hippocratic Oath, where doctors promise to help patients and keep secrets.
He believed the body had four humours (blood, phlegm, black bile, yellow bile) and illness happened when they were unbalanced. Hippocrates taught doctors to find natural causes of disease and watch patients closely. His work was shared in the Hippocratic Corpus.
