Medicine
Hippocrates, ancient Greek physician who lived during Greece's Classical period is traditionally regarded as the father of modern medicine, which is based on observation of clinical signs and rational conclusions, and does not rely on religious or magical beliefs.
The Hippocratic Oath contains the Pythagorean duties of justice, secrecy, respect for teachers and solidarity with peers. The clinical and ethical basics of medical practice as well as most clinical terms used even today have their origins in Hippocrates. His contribution in clinical medicine is immense.
As the founder of the Methodic School, Asclepiades was the first known physician who spoke about what is known today as molecular medicine.
