I believe you meant "Who Is Hippocrates", so I will answer
both, just in case.

HYPOCRITE:
A classic example of a hypocritical act is to, criticize others for carrying out an action, while carrying out the same action themselves.

Some people believe that most people, if not all, are hypocrites; they tend to criticize what they perceive to be bad behavior in others.

HIPPROCRATES:
Name: Hippocrates
Birth Date: 460 B.C.
Death Date: 377 B.C.
Place of Birth: Cos, Greece
Place of Death: Larissa, Greece
Nationality: Greek
Gender: Male
Occupations: Physician

Hippocrates made such an impression on medical history that his name is still very much associated with medicine today. All newly qualified doctors take what is called the "Hippocratic Oath", and some see Hippocrates as Known as the father of modern medicine, even though he did most of his work some 430 years before the Birth Of Christ.

Hippocrates and other Greek doctors believed that the work done by a doctor should be kept separate from the work done by a priest. They believed that observation of a patient was a vital aspect of medical care. Ancient Greek doctors did examine their patients but Hippocrates wanted a more systematic period of observation, and the recording of what was observed. Today, we would call this "clinical observation".

Hippocrates and other doctors worked on the assumption that all diseases had a natural cause rather than a supernatural one. Priests believed that an illness such as epilepsy was caused by the gods. Hippocrates believed that with all other illnesses it had a natural cause.

Quotes By "Hippocrates":
*Walking is man's best medicine.
*Idleness and lack of occupation tend - nay are dragged -
towards evil.
*As to diseases make a habit of two things - to help, or at least,
to do no harm.
*There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former
begets knowledge, the latter ignorance.
*Things that are holy are revealed only to men who are holy.
*Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of
opportunity.
*Many admire, few know.
*Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man
should himself lend a hand.
*A wise man should consider that health is the greatest of
human blessings, and learn how by his own thought to derive
benefit from his illnesses.

Hippocrates is an ancient greek who lived approximately (460-377? BC). He was a physician. Hippocrates has been called the father of scientific medicine, and the oath (Hippocratic Oath) that doctors take is named after him. Wikipedia has the Hippocratic oath translated into English, and the link is below.
