Beschreibung:
The Oath and Law by Hippocrates is a document that outlines the ethical code of conduct for medical practitioners. It is one of the most important documents in the history of medicine, as it established principles that are still used today. The Oath and Law calls for physicians to treat their patients with compassion and respect, to always act in their best interests, and to never do harm. These principles help to ensure that patients receive quality care and that physicians uphold their ethical obligations.
Medicine is of all the Arts the most noble; but, not withstanding, owing to the ignorance of those who practice it, and of those who, inconsiderately, form a judgment of them, it is at present far behind all the other arts. Their mistake appears to me to arise principally from this, that in the cities there is no punishment connected with the practice of medicine (and with it alone) except disgrace, and that does not hurt those who are familiar with it. Such persons are like the figures which are introduced in tragedies, for as they have the shape, and dress, and personal appearance of an actor, but are not actors, so also physicians are many in title but very few in reality.
