The Hippocratic Corpus is a collection of around 70 ancient Greek medical texts attributed to Hippocrates, often regarded as the "Father of Medicine." These writings cover various topics, including diagnosis, treatment, and ethics in medicine. They emphasize the importance of observation and clinical practice, laying the groundwork for modern medical ethics. The texts are significant for their systematic approach to medicine and their focus on natural causes of disease rather than supernatural explanations. They also introduce the concept of the Hippocratic Oath, a pledge for ethical medical practice that continues to influence healthcare professionals today.
