Hippocrates was the first physician to treat diseases as the result of living habits rather than a punishment by the gods. He made medicine a profession. It is believed he was born around the year 460 BCE to Heraclides (a physician) and Praxitela, in the island of Cos, Greece. He died around the year of 370 BCE in Larissa, Thessaly, Greece.
