Modern Version of the Hippocratic Oath
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and
judgment, this covenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of
those physicians in whose steps I walk, and
gladly share such knowledge as is mine with
those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all
measures which are required, avoiding those twin
traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as
well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and
understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife
or the chemist's drug.
I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor
will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills
of another are needed for a patient's recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their
problems are not disclosed to me that the world
may know. Most especially must I tread with
care in matters of life and death. If it is given me
to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be
within my power to take a life; this awesome
responsibility must be faced with great
humbleness and awareness of my own frailty.
Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart,
a cancerous growth, but a sick human being,
whose illness may affect the person's family and
economic stability. My responsibility includes
these related problems, if I am to care
adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for
prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of
society, with special obligations to all my fellow
human beings, those sound of mind and body as
well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and
art, respected while I live and remembered with
affection thereafter. May I always act so as to
preserve the finest traditions of my calling and
may I long experience the joy of healing those
who seek my help. 1 Like |

Hippocrates II will surely be laughing wherever he is now, It is an oath to ensure you show probity in your job. The gods sworn to has been changed and replaced with honour. we all take oaths indirectly. just look around. school, office etc. |

goodman3:I like the way you made your research. But my brother, i'll like to ask if you really researched about the oath. Do you really know what the oath is all about If you don't have an answer to this, then i guess your research is not proven and therefore void. Moreover most proffesions today do take Oath, are u literarily saying we christians should stay Jobless |

No-friend.Guess you've not sworn an affidavit in a law court? God have destined some as physicians from time immemorial.Recall St.Mark is also one of them as well as a staunch disciple of Jesus Christ.Swearing the Hippocrate's oath is not a sin as it's a prerequisite to acceptance into the profession just as almost all professional bodies do globally.So do not over-spiritualize issues. Mind you I'm a doctor by training. |

Because the word "oath" was used does not make it a sin. it is just a promise to serve Humanity with your knowledge. With regards to the symbol that was the symbol Moses used in the bible when God sent snakes among the children of Israel. the snake on the stick that God said any one that looks on the snake shall ne healed. Also the Motto of doctors is "we care God Heals" don't lets over spiritualise every thing. Wisdom to heal was given by God for the benefit of man. Lets not put God in a box |

goodman3: You are an ignoramus... your ignorance of the bible is quite shocking! If you have read your bible, you will find out that Luke was a doctor. Jesus gave a parable of who your neighbour is and talked about how the Samaritan tool the wounded to be treated, supposedly by a doctor. Don't condemn what God never condemned. Stop reading your bible upside down! |

Moreso, he's omniscient. Thank you. |

Beamborla: Absolutely. True Christians should especially avoid public offices. They cannot be presidents, governors, senators etc. because they'll have to recite the oath. Authentic christians should not even testify in court else they'll be asked to take oath as well ...Don't mind the mumu OP. 1 Like |

This your post is RUBISH $ USELESS. You claim to be a Christian yet u do not know God. Who made the Physician? St Lukes was he not a physician? The Snake Moses built in d wilderness dey looked unto for healing nko? although dats not d origin of d logo. I am A Medical Doctor, i belong to God, i never did any extraordinary thing to become a doctor n i am not a cultist. The Oath i took i did with My Bible n it is to protect n preserve the sanctity of d human life. Please if you do not know what to post. Go and sleep. |
