Book Synopsis Hippocrates' Oath and Asclepius' Snake by : T. A. Cavanaugh
Book excerpt: This book articulates the Hippocratic Oath as establishing the medical profession by a promise to uphold an internal medical ethic that particularly prohibits doctors from killing. In its most basic and least controvertible form, this ethic mandates that physicians help and not harm the sick.
