Who is the father of medicine?
(a)Hippocrates
(b)Theophrastus
(c)Aristotle
(d)None of the above

Hint: He discovered that it is not due to the superstition that the natural process triggers the disease. A detailed study of illness was part of his contribution to medicine. He lived about 2400 years ago.

Complete answer:
A Greek physician from the Era of Pericles (Classical Greece), Hippocrates of Kos, also known as Hippocrates II, is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. As the founder of the Hippocratic School of Medicine, he is sometimes referred to as the' Father of Medicine' in recognition of his enduring contributions to the field. Ancient Greek medicine was revolutionized by this intellectual academy, defining it as a discipline independent from other fields with which it was historically affiliated (theurgy and philosophy), thereby creating medicine as a profession.
Hippocrates is credited for being the first person to claim that ailments were actually induced, not because of superstition and gods. Hippocrates was credited for merging science and medicine by the followers of Pythagoras. He distinguished medical discipline from religion, believing and arguing that illness was not a punishment imposed by the gods, but rather the result of environmental conditions, nutrition, and living habits. Indeed, there is no single reference in the entirety of the Hippocratic Corpus of a mystical disease. Hippocrates, however, worked with many ideas founded on what is now considered to be erroneous anatomy and physiology, such as humorism.

Additional Information: Because of his systematic approach to classification and his use of physiology to reveal relationships between species, Aristotle's zoology won him the title of father of biology.
Theophrastus took over as the head of the Lyceum when Aristotle left Athens. For thirty-six years, Theophrastus ruled over the Peripatetic academy, during which time the academy greatly flourished. For his work on plants, he is sometimes considered the father of botany.
Thus, the correct option is A

Note: Theophrastus, who was Aristotle's nearest colleague and successor at the Lyceum, was a Peripatetic philosopher. In all areas of philosophy, he wrote several treatises in order to help, strengthen, extend, and improve the Aristotelian system.
