I was on the air today with Dr. Joy Browne

1. jw

i don't know if anyone here listens to dr. joy but i love her show and most of the time agree with her advice.

well, today i grew some balls and decided to call in and ask her what she thought i should do in my current situation (which is probably the closest i will come to seeking professional advice).

i never mentioned the name of the "religious group" in which my husband was involved, but i informed her about some of the things that they believe and how it was affecting my marriage and family.

The Oath of Hippocrates
by Bona Dea in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i swear by apollo the physician, and sculapius, and hygeia, and panacea, and all the gods and goddesses, that according to my ability and judgment, i will keep this oath and its stipulations -- to reckon him who taught me this art equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him, and to 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 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 other.

i will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, i consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous.

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.
