This museum relief shows the famous
Hippocratic Oath developed by Hippocrates in Ancient Greece. Perfect for
any medical office or in the home of a doctor or nurse, this museum replica is
a fantastic conversation piece.
The
oath reads as follows: “I swear by Apollo Physician and Asclepios and Hygieia
and Panacea and all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I
will fulfill according to my ability and judgment this oath and this
covenant: To hold him who has taught me this art as equal to my parents and to
live my life in partnership with him, and if he is in need of money to give
him a share of mine, and to regard his offspring as equal to my brothers in
male lineage and to teach them this art - if they desire to learn it - without
fee and covenant; to give a share of precepts and oral instruction and all
the other learning to my sons and to the sons of him who has instructed me and
to pupils who have signed the covenant and have taken an oath according to the
medical law, but no one else. I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit
of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm
and injustice. I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it,
nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a
woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my
art etc, etc.”
All doctors still take this oath!
