Ancient Greeks significantly advanced medicine by shifting its foundation from supernatural explanations to natural causes, emphasizing observation and rationality. Pioneers like Hippocrates, often called the "Father of Medicine," promoted systematic clinical observation and ethical standards, encapsulated in the Hippocratic Oath. Their approach laid the groundwork for modern medical practices, including the importance of patient history and the scientific method in diagnosis and treatment. This legacy continues to influence contemporary medical ethics and education.
