Fourth Paragraph

Through the evidence from the Hippocratic Oath and his techniques outlined the Hippocratic Corpus, Hippocrates was the ideal physician of his time. His intelligence and compassion for human life has been a inspiration for physicians, especially after his death. He was the most influential on Galen, the last great Greek physician. Under Hippocrates' bodily humours theory, Galen found that the human moods changed as an reaction from the imbalance of the bodily fluids. This allowed them to understand more about the human body, and how it reacted to certain elements. He also promoted the Hippocratic teachings and worked with Hippocrates for a short period of time. Without the influence of Hippocrates and his work, Galen may not have been as successful as he was and his work in other aspects of medicine may have never come about. Herophilos, Paulus Aegineta and Pedanius Dioscorides are all other physicians that have been influenced in one way or another by Hippocrates and his writings.
