The Hippocratic Oath
I SWEAR by
Apollo the physician and AEsculapius, and Health, and All-heal, and all the gods
and goddesses, that, according to my ability and judgment,
I will keep this Oath and this stipulation -- to reckon him who taught me this
Art equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him, and
relieve his necessities if required; to look upon his offspring in the same
footing as my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they shall wish to
learn it, without fee or stipulation; and that by precept, lecture, and every
other mode of instruction,
I will impart a knowledge of the Art to my own sons, and those of my teachers,
and to disciples bound by a stipulation and oath according to the law of
medicine, but to none others.
I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and
judgement, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever
is deleterious and mischievous.
I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel....
With purity and with holiness I will pass my life and practice my Art.
I will not cut persons labouring under the stone, but will leave this to be done
by men who are practitioners of this work. Into whatever houses I enter, I will
go into them for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary
act of mischief and corruption; and, further, from the seduction of females or
males, of freemen and slaves. Whatever, in connection with my professional
service, or not in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which
ought not to be spoken of abroad,
I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret. While I
continue to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and
the practice of the art, respected by all men, in all times. But should I
trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot.

Admiral West, this site is created. This way this information can be used for
all the simmers and so that it is consistent. We are a IDF affiliate.

The rank insignias on this site where created by Steven
Marriott, originally for the Tango Fleet
PBE-RPG. Please do not copy the images. If you wish to obtain them and an
up-to-date copy either access the Tango
Fleet Website, or visit the RPG-Insignias
Website. You will find all the information you need on these, and many other
insignia images. Steve is more than happy to pass along his work to anyone who
takes the time to simply ask.
Without them a lot
of the graphics would be motionless.
