![]() | Hippocrates was father to an awful lot of bother, for 'tis claimed that as to medicine he was the pioneer, Hippocrates' diploma never threw him into coma in his efforts to decipher what its classic diction said, He often growled, "Dad gum it!" when he felt the glossy summit of his head, which was as bald as any shiny billiard ball— He was written up by Plato (who was quite a hot potato when it came to mental effort, for you know he reasoned well); Hippocrates had knowledge, though he didn't go to college; he could speak of all diseases that he knew, in Latin terms Streptococcus or bacillus such as get in us and kill us to Hippocrates were always undiscovered and unknown, Were he living at this moment, would the world be in a foment? Would physicians of the present take him out to see the town? He was constantly complaining that in spite of all his training he could never cure his patients of the trait of dodging bills. |
