The Hippocratic Oath
"I swear to 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 disciplines 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 that 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 cute for stone, even
for
patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will
leave this operation
to be performed by practitioners specializing in
this art.
"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,
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 in daily commerce
with men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I
will keep secret and
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."
