Product Description
What better decor choice for a medical office than a bust of the man credited with founding the medical profession and crafting its code of ethics? For a perfect companion piece, see our wall relief of the Hippocratic Oath.HISTORY: Hippocrates, a Greek physician (circa 460 to 377 B.C.) is traditionally revered as the father of Medicine. Few details of his life are known to us. It is believed that he was the son of a physician and that he traveled widely in Greece and Asia Minor, teaching and practicing the art of medicine. The Hippocratic collection of writings that is generally attributed to him, was more likely a library of the medical school at Kos where he taught. The collection deals with clinical subjects, anatomy, diseases of women and children, treatments through diet and herbs, prognosis, surgery and medical ethics. This gave rise to the famous Hippocratic oath which is sworn to by modern physicians.
