The reason I picked Hippocrates is because he is someone I didnt know anything about and he was also the first name I saw but after learning about what he did and how he was basically one of the first doctors and how he inspired other people to become doctors/physicians.

Hippocrates info 

Hippocrates was born 460 B.C.E and died 375 B.C.E  

He was an ancient physician who lived during the classical and traditionally Greek periods. 

He was known as the father of medicine facts supporting this is that 60 medical writings have citied his name most of which were not written by him. 

Although Hippocrates is known for his famous oath that all medical students swear to at the begging of learning about medicine even though his name is mentioned in the oath, he most likely didn’t write it. 

A compilation of writings was found that were attributed to Hippocrates that have the basic understanding of disease and how the body works. 

Hippocrates is credited with the devolving theory of the four humors or fluids the humors he developed were yellow bile, black bile blood and phlegm which are all linked to an element [earth, water air or fire] or two qualities [cold, hot moist or dry]
