He also made many medical discoveries, like how finger clubbing may be a diagnosis of disease.
An oath that he wrote, now known as the Hippocratic Oath, is still recited by many physicians today.
Roman doctors, though they were originally considered to be lower class, eventually became important citizens like they are today.

Special Harry Potter Section
Harry Potter uses many Latin names such as Lucius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, Scorpius Malfoy, Albus Dumbledore, Minerva Mcgonagall ect.

A prime example of Mythology Fluffy, whom is crafted after the three headed dod cerberus. He gards the sorcerers stone along with: A deadly plant called devils snare, flying keys, a giant chessboard, A troll, and a number of potions turned into a logic puzzle
I am sickened by the lack of Harry Potter information.
