Answer to Question 1

Ans: B

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Hippocrates, born about 400 BC, was a Greek citizen who became known as the
Father of Modern Medicine. He emphasized natural causes for disease, a patient-centered
approach, and the necessity of accurate observations and record keeping. These priorities
influenced the practice of medicine both in Greece and beyond. Persia was known to utilize
slaves as physicians, and Rome borrowed medical practices from the countries it conquered.
Ancient India emphasized hygiene and prevention of sickness and described major and minor
surgery, children's diseases, and diseases of the nervous and urinary systems. Medicine men
were characteristic of the Mayan and Aztec civilizations.
