He is best known for the \u003cstrong\u003eHippocratic Oath\u003c\/strong\u003e, a code of ethics still considered fundamental to medical practice today. Although there is no evidence that Hippocrates actually wrote the oath, it represents the ethical and moral principles that he promoted in his medical school.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn interesting fact is that Hippocrates was one of the first to separate medicine from religion and superstition. While previously illnesses were often attributed to divine intervention, Hippocrates promoted the idea that illnesses had natural causes and could be treated through observation and study. This revolutionary approach laid the foundation for scientific medicine as we know it today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHippocrates also left a significant imprint through the \u003cstrong\u003eCorpus Hippocraticum\u003c\/strong\u003e, a collection of approximately 70 medical works written by his followers that document the foundations of ancient medicine. This corpus includes treatises on diagnosis, prognosis, therapy, and surgery, many of which are still relevant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eMaintenance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo keep your \u003cstrong\u003eHippocrates marble bust\u003c\/strong\u003e in perfect condition, clean it regularly with a \u003cstrong\u003esoft, dry cloth\u003c\/strong\u003e.
