Hippocrates is considered to be the father of modern medicine because in his books, which are more than 70. He described in a scientific manner, many diseases and their treatment after detailed observation. He lived about 2400 years ago. He was born in the island of Kos and died at the outskirts of Larissa at the age of 104. Hippocrates taught and wrote under the shade of a big plane tree, its descendant now is believed to be 500 years old, the oldest tree in Europe–platanus orientalists Hippocratic–with a diameter of 15 meters. Hippocrates saved Athens from a plague epidemic and for that was highly honoured by the Athenians. He considered Democritus–the father of the atomic theory–to be his teacher and after visiting him as a physician to look after his health, he accepted no money for this visit.
