In tracing their origin and their fate, the beginning and the end
of their environment, humans have often been guided by curiosity.
Such concern has helped man to discover, among other things, the
structure of the universe from star to atom and the evolution of
life from unicellular organism to human being. The study of disease
is unique. Although it may have been in spired by the curiosity of
a few, it has always been the concern of all, because preventing or
curing disease has meant survival not only of individuals, but of
entire nations, not only of humans, but of fellow living creatures.
If greed, force, religion, and language have been major causes of
wars, diseases, more than arms, have often decided the outcome of
battles and thereby have woven the pattern of history. For
millennia, a large fraction of the human race believed that disease
expressed the wrath of God(s) against individuals or societies.
Therefore, only priests or priestesses, kings, and queens were
endowed with the power of healing. In the West, Hippocrates is
credited for exorcising this concept of disease and for objectively
describing and cataloguing them. The contributions of Greek
physicians to Western medicine made possible more accurate
diagnoses and prognoses."
