The Oath

by Hippocrates, 400 BC

I SWEAR by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius, and Health, and
All-heal, and all the gods and goddesses, that, according to my ability
and judgement, 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 shall wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation; and by
that precept, lecture, and every other mode of instruction, I will impart
a knowledge of the Art to my own sons, and those 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 of regimen
which, according to my ability and judgement, I consider for the benefit
of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mishievious.
I will give no  deadly medicine to anyone 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 laboring under the stone, but will leave this
to be done by men who are practioners 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 practice 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, may the reverse be my lot!





Hi, my name is Pam, and I have studied very hard the past few years to
become a nurse. And I am proud to say I have achieved that goal.

These are my home pages and they are not just pages of medical things,
but about me too and some of the things I like and enjoy.

So please enjoy your visit...
