" cure sometimes
treat often
comfort always "
-Hippocrates-
huh???what's this??is this some kind of children's drawing during art class??for sure,NOPE.. This is something new that i've learned during the PPKSD. even though i've heard the name before- HIPPOCRATIC OATH, i never knew what is it all about.later on when the specialist DR HARIS told us about it,then i know that it's some kind of basic moral reference for those who will choose this art of life(medical studies). this is the modern translation of this oath:
x x x x x x x x x x
- I will use those dietary regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgement, and I will do no harm or injustice to them.
- I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.
- In purity and according to divine law will I carry out my life and my ART.
- I will not use the knife, even upon those suffering from stones, but I will leave this to those who are trained in this craft.
- Into whatever homes I go, I will enter them for the benefit of the sick, avoiding any voluntary act of impropriety or corruption, including the seduction of women or men, whether they are free men or slaves.
- Whatever I see or hear in the lives of my patients, whether in connection with my professional practice or not, which ought not to be spoken of outside, I will keep secret, as considering all such things to be private.
- So long as I maintain this Oath faithfully and without corruption, may it be granted to me to partake of life fully and the practice of my art, gaining the respect of all men for all time. However, should I transgress this Oath and violate it, may the opposite be my fate.

so i hope that myself and those who wanted to pursue this ART OF LIFE will do good to mankind and may us possess the heart of a doctor without forgetting to live along HIS guide..
