Why is Hippocrates the father of medicine?
Hippocrates was a doctor during the times of Ancient Greek. Back then, the doctoring methods were not backed up by research; rather, they were thought up by the same men who thought volcanoes were caused by fire breathing dragons trapped under mountains ;). That is to say, although the Greeks were brilliant people who made many discoveries, they had many theories that were perhaps slightly random. In the field of medicine at that time, for example, if a person came in with a headache, it would not be uncommon for a hole to be drilled in their head as treatment. Or if they had cramps or growing pains, the part of their body that experienced those pains would be "bled out". Well, hippocrates certainly practiced these techniques, but he also made several new, correct discoveries. He is mostly credited with linking food with weight. He was first to suggest that people eat more fruits and vegetables and exercise more for a healthy diet. That is mostly why hippocrates is now called the father of medicine.
