The Asclepion of Kos and the legacy of Hippocrates (part2)

In this episode, we travel to the Asclepion of Kos, one of the original healing centres of the ancient world, and explore the extraordinary legacy of Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine. We take a tour of the archaeological site – imagining what it was like with altars, statues and running fountains, as well as doctors treating patients with mystical and herbal remedies. And we take a look at the life of Hippocrates and how he was responsible for introducing a scientific approach to medicine that changed the world.
