Character achievement:

Hippocrates' medical viewpoint has a great influence on the development of western medicine in the future. Ancient medicine developed slowly. Because people's ability to understand the world is limited and they are imprisoned by religious superstitions, the profession of doctors is often closely related to witchcraft.

He regarded disease as a developing phenomenon, and thought that doctors should not only treat diseases, but also treat patients, which changed the witchcraft and religious concepts in medicine at that time. He has a rich knowledge of bones, joints and muscles.

It is advocated to pay attention to the influence of patients' personality characteristics, environmental factors and lifestyle on their illness during treatment. Pay attention to healthy diet therapy, but don't neglect drug treatment, especially pay attention to symptomatic treatment and prevention.
