Ancient Greek Medicine

Abstract: A 7 page overview of ancient Greek medicine. The author traces the evolution of the Greek approach to medicine from the days of superstition to the days of Hippocrates and subsequent Greeks who would propel the discipline from the darkness into the sciences. The contention is presented that despite the many misperceptions and misunderstandings which existed, Greek medicine was indeed quite advanced for its time. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
