Medicine in ancient Greece was very different from today because people thought that illness came as a punishment from the gods, until Hippocrates the physician came up with the theory that illness did not come from the gods and could be cured. So, during war, injured soldiers did not pray but was tended to by a doctor. Hippocrates is still a part of medicine today, because today all doctors must take part in something called the “Hippocratic Oath”. We will write down the full Hippocratic Oath in our next post!
