The Oath - Windows Live


More Information	The Hippocratic Oath is an oath traditionally taken by physicians pertaining to the ethical practice of medicine.

Modern Version	I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant: ... I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug. ...

Classical Version	I swear by Apollo Physician ... Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice ...

First, do no harm.
