Answers:
Hippocrates, father of Medicine
Hippocrates studied at the temple of Asclepius (god of medicine) on the island of Cos. He emphasised on observation and believed that all illness rived from natural causes.The Hippocratic Collection is a group of manuscripts attributed to Hippocrates, but kept or written by his numerous followers. The Hippocratic Oath, nowadays sworn to by men about to enter medical practice, is based on a code of ethical conduct appearing in the Hippocratic Collection
hippocratis.i dunno
Aescalapius. It is his staff used as an insignia on medical facilities and unifoms.
Hippocrates is usually credited, but there's an argument that it should be Imhotep of the Egyptians.http://www.nbufront.org/html/mastersmuse.
Hypocrates, That is why it is called the Hypocratic oath
For some alternative medicine (and a good laugh) look at plini the elder. Some good remedies there!
