The Hippocratic Oath: Classical Version. and Modern Version
Since many people have heard of the The Hippocratic Oath, I thought it would be appropriate with all this discussion of Health care to provide it to the reader so that one would know exactly how the classical and modern versions read.I SWEAR by Apollo the physician, Aesculapius, and Health, and All-heal, and all the gods and goddesses, that, according to my ability and 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 up his offspring in the same footing as my own brothers, and to teach them this
