greeks

Greeks have always fascinated me,whether it be Aristotle, Hippocrates, or Alexander the Great. Hippocrates has always been my favorite because he is one of the early physician. He also made the Hippocratic Oath which every medical student takes before becoming a doctor. He also brought new ideas during his times because greeks used to think that diseases and plaques were caused whenever a god was displeased or angry. However, Hippocrates was against this popular belief of the time and believed that there was some medical explanation behind every disease.

I also studied Hippocrates because i am fond of medicine and it is my passion. You can help humanity in many ways, and to me going in health care profession is one way.
