Hippocrates is considered to be the father of Western medicine. The Sacred Disease was one of his most famous works in which he proposed that diseases were natural, not supernatural. This was a radical idea at the time and went against the beliefs of many people. However, Hippocrates' theories were based on observation and logic, and he is now considered to be one of the most important figures in medicine.
