![]() | Hippocrates (460BC-377BC), father of western medicine,wrote the Hippocratic Oath to keep the
medical physician, pure according to the divine laws, through the life and practice of
the respected physician. In time the
Hippocratic Oath, was sworn by newly appointed western medical physicians who were to pursue the Hippocratic path. |
During the journey of centuries, the oath has changed in
relationship with new medical technologies and society rules. The question is now, "Does the new Hippocratic Oath of today, provide the same effect of purpose like the original oath, providing a code
of conduct, as well as protecting the patients well-being." | ![]() |
