A book for the medical and paramedical professions, patients and those interested in travelling and understanding more of western culture.
Hippocrates, the “Father of Medicine”, lived in the same period (5. century BC) as Bian Que, the “Founder of Chinese Medicine”. There are similarities between the clinical practice of the two great ancient masters. With his detailed recordings of astute clinical observations and introducing the concept of “prognosis”, Hippocrates laid the rational basis for Western medicine. The Hippocratic Oath is a code of medical ethics and symbol of an ideal associated with his name.
The beautiful Greek island of Kos, where he was born and worked, is an attractive destination for present-day travellers. This book is more than just a travel guide. The introduction to Hippocrates, the Greek philosophers and the fascinating world of classical mythology adds to the understanding of the cultural background.
東方有扁鵲，人稱「中醫始祖」，西方同期（公元前五世紀）有希波克拉底，被尊為「醫學之父」，他以精細的臨床觀察和詳盡的紀錄，提出「預後」的概念，奠定了現代西醫的科學方法和理性基礎，把醫學提升為一門學問和專業。然而，「行醫」是懸壺濟世的專業技能。以他為名的《希波克拉底誓言》，以生命可貴、病者福祉為前題，尊師、重道為立意；二千多年來，一直是行醫者的明訓。
他出生、成長、行醫教學的科斯島，藍天白雲，氣候怡人，藍海白沙，風光明麗如畫，是今天旅行的好去處。這本書（中文版、英文版）可以用作為科斯島的旅遊指南，也介紹了希波克拉底這段文化歷史，和古希臘引人入勝的神話世界，讓遊人更有心得，旅程更有意思。
