Abstract

Milattan önce altıncı ve beşinci yüzyıllarda Knidos ve Kos'un, tıbbın ana vatanı olduğunda kuşku yoktur. Bu iki okulun hekimlerinin temel tıp bilgilerinin çoğu benzerdi. Anatomi bilgileri hayvan diseksiyonları ile savaş ve kaza yaralanmalarında karşılaştıkları insan vücutlarına ilişkin gözlemlere dayanıyordu. Knidos'ta Euryphon ve Kos’ta Hipokrat hemen hemen aynı pozisyondaydı ve öğretim organizasyonları benzerdi. Hekimlik, usta çırak ilişkisine dayanmaktaydı. Bulundukları zaman diliminde yenilikçi ve önemli katkılar sağlayarak tıbbın gelişiminde ilk tohumları atan bu hekimlerin, günümüzde genç hekimler ve hekim adayları tarafından bilinmesi, anlaşılması hekimlik mesleğinin felsefesinin daha iyi kavranabilmesi adına çok önemlidir. Bu yazıda, ünlü Knidoslu hekimlerden Knidos ekolünün kurucusu Euryphon, spor hekimliğinin babası Herodicus, tarihçi hekim Ctesias, ünlü eğitici hekim Chrysippus ve astronom hekim Eudoxus’un tıbba kazandırdıklarından söz edilecektir.

A Look at the History of Ancient Medicine 1: Famous Knidos Physicians of Antiquity

Abstract

There is no doubt that Knidos and Kos were the homeland of medicine in the sixth and fifth centuries BC. Most of the basic medical knowledge of the physicians of these two schools was similar. Their anatomy knowledge was based on the observations of animal dissections and human bodies they encountered in battle and accident injuries. Euryphon at Knidos and Hippocrates at Kos held almost the same position, and their teaching organizations were similar. Medicine was based on the master-apprentice relationship. It is very important that these physicians, who laid the first seeds in the development of medicine by making innovative and important contributions in their time, are known and understood by young physicians and physician candidates, in order to better understand the philosophy of the medical profession. In this article, the contributions of Euryphon, the founder of the Knidos school, one of the famous Knidos physicians, the father of sports medicine Herodicus, the historian physician Ctesias, the famous educator physician Chrysippus and the astronomer physician Eudoxus to medicine will be mentioned.
