Document Summary

Medicine was a very new discipline, and hypocratis was the father of medicine, the first doctor. Like crazy love, love with an animal or one of your relatives. Madness is a disease sent by the god. So instead of seeing a doctor when you were sick, you would go to asclepius temple. You would sleep there, and a snake would come out of the ground and whisper in your ear what was wrong with you and then those doctors would treat you. (a very religious way of practicing medicine") Hypocratis was the first who separated medicine from religion. He also explained" medically why sapiens people were impotent. Hypocratis develops a theory about the balance of fluids in the body: the reason why its fluids, is that this is the thing that the doctor can see! They performed some autopsy on animals, cutting into inside the body during the classical period.
