hippocratic oath.

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 regard his offspring in the same footing with my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they should wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation; and that by 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 method of treatment which, according to my ability and judgment, i consider for the benefits of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous.
