It was actually Asclepius not Hippocrates who's skills in healing earned the ire of Hades because he was bringing people back from the dead. Hades complained to Zeus about this because he felt Asclepius was stealing his subjects and Zeus decided to handle this matter by disintegrating Asclepius with a thunderbolt. For bonus points, Asclepius was the son of Apollo, thus making him Zeus's grandson. After his demise Apollo was so mad that he took it out on the cyclops who made the thunderbolts, killing them all and Zeus (being father and grandfather of the year) was going to punish him by sending him to Tartarus, however Apollo's mom Leto begged Zeus for mercy so instead Apollo was forced to serve King Admetus of Thessaly for a year.
