OATHAND LAW OF HIPPOCRATES From"Harvard Classics Volume 38"Copyright 1910 by P.F. Collier and Son. Thistext is placed in the Public Domain, June 1993. INTRODUCTORYNOTE HIPPOCRATES,the celebrated Greek physician, was a contemporary of the historian Herodotus.He was born in the island of Cos between470 and 460 B.C., and belonged to thefamily that claimed descent from the mythical AEsculapius, son of Apollo. Therewas already along medical tradition in Greece before his day, and this he issupposed to have inherited chiefly through his predecessor Herodicus; and heenlarged his education by extensive travel. He is said, though the evidence isunsatisfactory, to have taken part in the efforts to check the great plaguewhich devastated Athens at the beginning of the Peloponnesian war. He died atLarissa between 380and 360 B.C. The works attributed to Hippocrates are theearliest extant Greek medical writings, but very many of them are certainly nothis. Some five or six, however, are generally granted to be genuine, and amongthese is the famous "Oath." This interesting document shows that inhis time physicians were already organized into a corporation or guild, withregulations for the training of disciples, and with an esprit de corps and aprofessional ideal which, with slight exceptions, can hardly yet be regarded asout of date. One saying occurring in the words of Hippocrates has achieveduniversal currency, though few who quote it to-day are aware that it originallyreferred to the art of the physician. It is the first of his"Aphorisms": "Life is short, and the Art long; the occasionfleeting; experience fallacious, and judgment difficult. The physician must notonly be prepared to do what is right himself, but also to make the patient, theattendants, and externals cooperate.
