Description

According to Hippocrates, injuries to the head can lead to a number of different problems. These problems can include seizures, paralysis, and even death. Hippocrates notes that it is important to treat these injuries quickly and effectively in order to avoid these potential complications.

Author

Hippocrates (c. 460–370 BC) is the figure most closely associated with the birth of rational medicine in the ancient Greek world. The Hippocratic Corpus — essays, case histories, and aphorisms long attributed to him and his school — sought to explain illness through observation rather than superstition. His name survives in the physician's oath and in the ideal of medicine as a humane, disciplined art grounded in evidence and care.
