One significant accomplishment of Hippocrates to the Greeks was the establishment of a systematic and ethical approach to medicine, often referred to as the "Hippocratic Corpus." He is credited with separating medicine from superstition and religion, emphasizing observation and clinical practice. His ethical guidelines, particularly the Hippocratic Oath, laid the foundation for medical ethics that continues to influence physicians today. This shift helped elevate the status of medicine as a respected profession in ancient Greek society.
