One of the greatest fgures in the history of medicine, Hippocrates of ancient Greece, believed that “A wise man should consider health as the greatest human blessing… To physicians: Cure sometimes, treat often, comfort always… And make a habit of two things: Help; or at least, do no harm.” While these words are more than 2,300 years old, their sentiments still ring true today. Good health is a most precious commodity and in the modern world medicine has achieved towering status. Many nations spend more than one-tenth of their entire wealth on prevention and treatment of illness and allied health services.
The origins of medicine are hazy, but it is known that all great ancient civilizations had specialists in healing arts, as each region around the world developed knowledge and learning in the area. Varied traditions arose, some effective, but many bound up with spells and curses, spirits, demons, and other supernatural entities. Progress toward modern medicine quickened from about the 16th century, especially in Europe. Here, the Renaissance led to the rise of organized observation, recording, experimentation, analysis, and a rational, evidencebased approach, and medicine evolved from art to science.
