The relation between the word hippocrite and Hippocrates?
Nothing, really. "Hypocrite" comes from the Greek hypokrites meaning actor (in the sense of one who puts on the persona (actor's mask) of virtue or religion, but acts in contradiction. "Hippocrates," of course, is the celebrated ancient Greek physician (c. 460-370 B.C.E.). The first part of his name, hippo, means horse...
How many years ago did Hippocrates live?
Hippocrates was the first physician to treat diseases as the result of living habits rather than a punishment by the gods. He made medicine a profession. It is believed he was born around the year 460 BCE to Heraclides (a physician) and Praxitela, in the island of Cos, Greece. He died around the year of 370 BCE in Larissa, Thessaly, Greece.
What are the contributions of Hippocrates to medicine?
Hippocrates provided the field of psychology with the theory of the Four Humors, the first ever personality theory. According to Hippocrates, the individual was made up of four humors, of which any one humor was perpetually dominant. This dominant humor affected the individual's personality and made him/her one specific 'type' of individual (thus being called a type theory of personality). The four humors are as follows: SANGUINE (Blood) - A warm, outgoing personality. Rarely loses temper and is compassionate and loving by nature. PHLEGMATIC (Phlegm) - A lazy, laid-back personality. Is rarely bothered by carrying out jobs or work, and does not express many emotions. Never is emotionally intense. CHOLERIC (Yellow Bile) - An angry, aggressive personality. Is often loyal, but at the same time, has a very short fuse and is impulsive by nature. MELANCHOLIC (Black Bile) - A sad, despondent personality. Tends to display more reactions of negativity towards stimuli, and is often selfish and self-absorbed. The problem with Hippocrates' theory is that all individuals show the various traits mentioned above at some point or another in their lives. Hence, it is much more difficult to put individuals into separate, discrete categories as he believed.
Why does the passage of the 12th amendment support the idea that the constitution is a living constitution?
I don't believe the twelfth amendment supports the idea any more than the other amendments. The idea of a living constitution is the belief that the constitution must change and evolve as our country does and all the amendments are support of that idea because amendments are change. It also comes from the notion that the constitution is purposely broad so as to leave it open for interpretation and change.
How did Hippocrates improve medical knowledge?
Many practices in ancient Greek medical treatment are ascribed to Hippocrates, but very little is known about whether he instituted them himself of whether other or later physicians of his "school" instituted them. Most of our knowledge about him comes from the Greek physician Soranus who lived about 200 years after his death, making it difficult to separate fact from fiction. Reasonably certain is that his major contribution was the insight that illnesses were not sent by the gods, but that they had natural causes. Furthermore he probably did start the practice of systematically analyzing and describing the symptoms of illnesses, which enabled later physicians to easily recognize illnesses and their recommended treatments. He was the author of a treatise called 'The complicated body', but because of the strict taboo at the time concerning dissection of humans, it would take another 1,500 years before the anatomy of humans was fully and clearly understood.

There is no simple answer here, as epilepsy comes in different forms. The nature and cause of the child's epilepsy is what you need to consider here.
