Hippocrates was born around 460 BC on the island of Kos, Greece. He became known as the founder of medicine and was regarded as the greatest physician of his time. He based his medical practice on observations and on the study of the human body. He held the belief that illness had a physical and a rational explanation. He rejected the views of his time that considered illness to be

I swear by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius, and Hygeia, and Panacea and all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will fulfill, according to my ability and judgment, this Oath and covenant.

To hold him, who has taught me this art, as equal to my parents, and to live my life in partnership with him, and if he is in need of money to give him a share of mine, and to regard his offspring as equal to my brothers in male lineage, and to teach them this art if they desire to learn it without fee and covenant; to give a share of precepts and oral instruction and all the other learning to my sons and to the sons of him who has instructed me, and to pupils who have signed the covenant and who have taken an oath according to the medical law, but to no one else.

I will apply my knowledge for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice.

I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody if asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness, I will guard my life and my art.

I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but will withdraw in favour of such men as are skilled in this work.

Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice, of all mischief, and in particular of sexual relations with both male and female persons, be they free or slaves.What I may see or hear in the course of treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account ought to be spread abroad, I will keep to myself, holding such things shameful to be spoken about.If I fulfill this Oath and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being honoured with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite of all this be my lot.

NOTE OF AUTHOR

In the dramatized documentary "The Hippocratic Oath" did not create a work of artistic imagination. Mainly relied on the texts of the Hippocratic Registry and synthesized two sections, which constitute a single creature.
First begins with the fight of Hippocrates, in his mother country as doctor, to elect and to establish the new, what first this brought in the world. The scientific Medicine. This it teaches in his new doctors of his season.
Structural it begins from the “faculty” and finishes in the shade of plane tree.  In the second unit, becomes the oath of new doctors in Asklipieio, front the schoolteacher of father of medicine and the official crowning from the state, via mouth of Monarch of Kos.
Motivation of the writer and all players who selflessly contributed to the completion of the essay was and is in debt to the divine ancestor, our moral values and deposits which lead each of us as "not purely and osios keep the bionic adhesion and art of the emin ".
With humility we offer the fruit of toil in our local community.
