Hippocratic Oath I swear by Apollo the physician, by Aesculapius, Hygeia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgment the following Oath: To consider dear to me as my parents him who taught me this art; to live in common with him and if necessary to share my goods with him; to look upon his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art if they so desire without fee or written promise; to impart to my sons and the sons of the master who taught me and the disciples who have enrolled themselves and have agreed to the rules of the profession, but to these alone, the precepts and the instruction. I will prescribe regimen for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone. To please no one will I prescribe a deadly drug, nor give advice which may cause his death. Nor will I give a woman a pessary to procure abortion. But I will preserve the purity of my life and my art. I will not cut for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this operation to be performed by practitioners (specialists in this art). In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction, and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves. All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or outside of my profession or in daily commerce wigh men, which ought mot to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal. If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot. ——摘自Taber’s Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary 希波克拉底誓言 我起誓： 尊师如父，爱徒如子。 仁心仁术，悬壶济事。 端庄检点，护患隐私。 非己所长，不强为之。 守誓得福，违誓福止。
【Hippocrates of Cos】希波克拉底，约公元前460-前375，古希腊医师。西方医学奠基人。提出“四体液病理学说”。认为医师所应医治的不仅是病而且是病人，主张在治疗上注意病人的个性特征、环境因素和生活方式对患病的影响。重视卫生饮食疗法，但不忽视药物治疗，尤其注意预后。其医学观点对以后西方医学的发展有巨大的影响。 【Apollo】阿波罗，希腊神话中的医药之神。 【Aesculapius】埃斯科拉庇俄斯，罗马神话中的医药之神。 【Hygeia】许革亚，希腊神话中的健康女神。 【Panacea】帕娜刻亚，希腊神话中的医药女神。 |
