Hippocrates was the first physician to treat diseases as the result of living habits rather than a punishment by the gods. Hippocrates helped found two medicine schools, Knidian and Koan. Thessalus and Draco, two sons of Hippocrates as well as Hippocrates' son-in-law, Polybus, were his students. The Knidian school of medicine focused manly on diagnosing illnesses. The Knidian school failed to distinguish when one disease caused many possible series of symptoms as there was a Greek taboo forbidding the dissection of any human. The Koan school of medicine had a different focus, they were more focused on general diagnosis and passive treatment. Hippocrates belived that the body could naturally heal itself from all illnesses, and that a good lifestyle and rest was need to speed the process along. " To do nothing is also a good remedy." - Hippocrates Hippocrates and his followers were the first to describe many diseases as well as medical conditions. Hippocrates was the first to describe clubbing of the fingers, an important diagnostic sing in chronic suppuratives lung disease, lung cancer and cyanotic heart disease. Clubbed fingers are sometimes referred to as " Hippocratic fingers". == ==
