The Hippocratic Oath: Analysis and Contemporary Meaning
Abstract:
The Hippocratic oath is traditionally taken by medical school graduates at the time of their graduation, either in its original form or in a modern variation. It is considered the earliest expression of medical ethics, establishing principles of ethics that remain of paramount significance today. However, it was written in antiquity, whereas medicine has been constantly evolving. This article reviews, analyzes, and interprets each section of the oath to determine to what extent it remains relevant to contemporary medicine. [Orthopedics. 2021;44(5):264-272.].
