Medicine 1.0 (pre-late 17th century to late 19th century) was characterized by having no scientific basis whatsoever, relying on rationalization about gods and bad humors, with Hippocrates' insight that diseases were caused by nature rather than gods being arguably the apex of Medicine 1.0 thinking.

Evidence Quote

Medicine 1.0 was basically everything that occurred prior to the transition period of the late 17th century into the late 19th century...they didn't have a scientific method or a scientific tool...Hippocrates...was the first to believe that diseases were somehow caused by nature and not the gods [26:45]
