The concept is the same, the wording is not even in the same language so some of it wouldn't even have been translatable. as for how he came up with the ideas of what made people sick....
you do realize that there are literally hundreds of books on the history of medicine. I couldn't even list them all on the space I'm allowed here. when I was in college there was an entire section of the library to cover that question. happy hunting for the answer.

the unique Hippocratic Oath had docs swearing via an entire slew of Greek gods. In maximum Western international locations, the Oath has been changed significantly from that unique style. yet in Italy, as an occasion, the Oath nevertheless demands graduating med scholars to pledge that they won't carry out abortions or euthanasia -- and so some docs refuse.

Same basic concept. But the modern oaths are more specific in terms of setting ethical standards and requirements.
Hippocrates set the standard thousands of years ago. And the core of those beliefs is still present in the modern version.
