    About this audiobook

    Hippocrates earned the title “Father of Medicine” for his extensive work in Ancient Greece. He effectively established medicine as a profession. Modern doctors still swear to uphold the ethical standards he laid out in the Hippocratic Oath. His book On the Surgery provides a fascinating look into medical history and the historical practices of this great physician.
