The Hippocratic Oath:
I swear by Apollo the physician, by Aesculapius, and Health, and All-heal, and
all the gods and goddesses, that according to my ability and my
judgment, I will keep this Oath and this stipulation--to reckon him
who taught me this Art equally dear to me as my parents, to share
my substance with him, and relieve his necessities if required; to look
upon his offspring in the same footing as my own brothers, and to teach
them this Art, if they wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation; and that
by precept, lecture, and every mode of instruction, I will impart a
knowledge of the Art to my own sons, and of my teachers, and to
disciples bound by a stipulation and oath according to the law of
medicine, but to none others.

I will follow that system or regimen which, according to my ability and
judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from
whatever is deleterious and mischievous.

I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such
counsel; and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to
produce abortion.

With purity and with holiness I will pass my life and practice my Art. I will not
cut persons labouring under the stone, but will leave this to be done
by men who are practitioners of this work. Into whatever houses I
enter, I will go into them for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from
every voluntary act of mischief and corruption; and, further, from
the seduction of females or males, of freemen and slaves

Whatever, in connection with my professional service, or not in connection
with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which ought not to
be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret.

While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to
enjoy life and the practice of the Art, respected by all men, in all times.
But should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot.

Conversation was never begun at once, nor in a hurried manner. No one was quick with a question, no matter how important, and no one was pressed for an answer.
