I swearby Apollo Physician, by Asclepius, by Health, by Heal-All, and by all thegods and goddesses, making them witnesses, that I will carry out, accordingto my ability and judgment, this oath and this indenture:
To regard my teacher in this artas equal to my parents; to make him partner in my livelihood, and whenhe is in need of money to share mine with him; to consider his offspringequal to my brothers; to teach them this art, if they require to learnit, without fee or indenture; and to impart precept, oral instruction,and all the other learning, to my sons, to the sons of my teacher, andto pupils who have signed the indenture and sworn obedience to the physicians'Law, but to none other.Now if I keep this oath and break it not, mayI enjoy honor, in my life and art, among all men for all time; but if Itransgress and forswear myself, may the opposite befall me.I will use treatment to help the sick accordingto my ability and judgment, but will never use it to injure or wrong them.
I will not give poison to anyone thoughasked to do so, nor will I suggest such a plan. Similarly, I will not givea pessary to a woman to cause abortion. But in purity and in holiness Iwill guard my life and my art.
I will not use the knife either on sufferersfrom stone, but I will give place to such as are craftsmen therein.
Into whatsoever houses I enter, I will doso to help the sick, keeping myself free from all intentional wrong-doingand harm, especially from fornication with woman or man, bond or free.
Whatsoever in the course of practice I seeor hear (or even outside my practice in social intercourse) that oughtnever to be published abroad, I will not divulge, but consider such thingsto be holy secrets.
