Hippocratic Oath.

Secara jujur, tak ada perkara sangat mahu diumumkan. Komen dan aduan pun tiada. Oh, senang sungguh menjadi ahli Imsa, sebenarnya.

Ya, gurau.

Oleh itu, biar saya tuliskan sesuatu, untuk kita lebih selalu melihat, apa bakal ada di hadapan lebih kerap, berbanding apa yang ada di bahu orang lain. Hurm.. metafora.

Hippocratic Oath.

Hippocratic Oath, adalah sumpah yang dilafazkan oleh para doktor, untuk mempraktikkan ilmu perubatan secara ber-etika.

Ia adalah salah satu daripada Teks Perubatan Greek. Sejarahnya, ia memerlukan bakal physician untuk bersumpah atas nama Tuhan-Tuhan, bahawasanya dia akan mendukung etika perubatan profesional.

Hippocratic Oath versi moden ;

" 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 [that] 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 to 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. "
