Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The context in which Hippocrates practiced is presented as an explanation for the content of the oath. Today oath-taking invokes respect for high principles shared among a community of practitioners even though the specifics of Hippocrates' code may be outdated or even unknown to many health professionals. More recent oaths particular to dentistry are also presented. |
