| description | A number of treatises that we usually call Hippocratic medicine are made of what seems to be a collection of pathological signs observed by meticulous and careful physicians. As experts of this meaningful body they prognosticate the term of the disease. The Epidemics I-III and the Pronostic are the model of this kind of medicine. In the 18th century those treatises are considered by professors and physicians as the very historical beginning of a new art of medicine, devoted to clinic examination. Then, such a vision of Hippocrates flourished. However, it raises many issues. In this perspective, the speculative and theoretical bias of Hippocratic medicine is underestimate. Moreover, the notion of observation does not help in fully understanding Greek medical vision. |
