The Hippocratic Oath
I swear by Apollo the physician, by Aesculapius, Hygeia, and Panacea, and I take
to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my
judgment the following Oath:
To consider dear to me as my parents him who taught me this art; to live in
common with him and if necessary to share my goods with him; to look upon his
children as my own brothers, to teach them this art if they so desire without fee or
written promise; to impart to my sons and the sons of the master who taught me
and the disciples who have enrolled themselves and have agreed to the rules of the
profession, but to these alone, the precepts and the instruction. I will prescribe
regimen for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and
never do harm to anyone. To please no one will I prescribe a deadly drug, nor
give advice which may cause his death. Nor will I give a woman a pessary to
procure abortion. But I will preserve the purity of my life and my art. I will not cut
for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this
operation to be performed by practitioners. In every house where I come I will
enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional
ill-doing and all seduction, and especially from the pleasures of love with women
or with men, be they free or slaves. All that may come to my knowledge in the
exercise of my profession or outside of my profession or in daily commerce with
men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never
reveal. If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art,
respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the
reverse be my lot.
