Study Notes
- Hippocratic Medicine (c.500BC): Hippocrates emphasized the importance of self-care and hygiene.
- Daily self-care routine: After waking up, face and eyes should be washed with pure water. Teeth should be rubbed with fine peppermint powder. Head should be rubbed and anointed daily, but washed and combed only occasionally.
- Walking regimen: Young and middle-aged men should take a walk of about 10 stadia before sunrise. Walking before meals clears out the body and prepares it for food.
- Hippocratic Medicine (c.500BC): Hippocratic Oath outlines the ethical code for doctors.
- Hippocratic Oath: Doctors should teach their art to their master and children, as well as to all their pupils who will swear the oath. Doctors should not administer poison or harm pregnant women.

- Roman Empire (100 BC): Greek medical practices were imposed on Rome, and doctors were mostly Greeks brought as slaves.
- Roman Empire (130-200 AD): Galen, the most important physician of the Roman Empire, was trained at Alexandria. He was an expert in sports medicine, surgical techniques, and anatomy.
- Roman Empire (130-200 AD): Galen made anatomical errors due to his reliance on animal dissections. He believed that blood was created in the liver and that it flowed from one side of the heart to the other.
- Roman Empire (130-200 AD): Romans developed the first-ever system of public health, including aqueducts, public toilets, and a sewer system, which decreased the occurrence of epidemics.
- Military Health: Romans kept troops fit and healthy through medical assistants, medicus medical officers, and a military medical school that required all physicians to attend.
- Military Medicine: Advances in surgery included the use of antiseptic methods, such as acetum, analgesic treatment, and ointments and medicinal plant extracts.
