There are NUMEROUS vandalisms here, even after some reversions.
"The Hippocratic work On the Physician recommends that physicians always be well-kempt, honest, calm, understanding, and serious."
In The Genuine Works of Hippocrates Francis Adams determined that he and other experts viewed On the Physician to be the work of someone other than Hippocrates. Too many people believe that what they read in wikipedia is factual. The statement should be removed because Hippocrates never made that recommendation. -- Creatapy2019 ( talk) 00:29, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for your thoughtful response. Perhaps it should be included in the article to clarify for future readers, who are less knowledgeable on the subject of Hippocrates. As it stands, it gives the impression that the statement originated with Hippocrates. The further away in time a Hippocratic work is presented, the more likely it is to be corrupted by semantics, translation errors, and personal opinion, much like the game of "telephone" as we all know, it is not possible for one person to know the thoughts of another. The student ALWAYS speaks from their own perspective, how can they not? Creatapy2019 ( talk) 15:41, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
Reading this article as part of WP:URFA/2020, I notice a few points where it may not meet the current standards of wikipedia's Featured Articles. In particular:
I have done a small amount of copyediting and started to get the reference formatting in order, but ancient medicine is really not my area, so hopefully someone with more expertise or interest will be able to pick up on the content points... Caeciliusinhorto ( talk) 22:00, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
@ Rsk6400: I quote, from MOS:ETHNICITY : "Ethnicity, religion, or sexuality should generally not be in the lead unless relevant to the subject's notability." care to clarify how the ethnicity of this scholar is relevant in the lede ?---Wikaviani (talk) (contribs) 01:59, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
In most modern-day cases .... Hippocrates is no modern case, meaning our distinction between "nationality" and "ethniticity" is not applicable. But we might say that his being Greek corresponds in a certain way to our modern understanding of nationality - a primary marker of his belonging to a certain group and not to other groups.
