希波克拉底誓言

希波克拉底誓言 流传约2000多年的确定医生对病人、对社会的责任及医生行为规范的誓 言，以希波克拉底的名字命名，希波克拉底是公元前5,前4世纪著名的希腊 医生。这一誓言很可能在希波克拉底之前已经在医生中代代相传，以口头的形 式存在，希波克拉底也许是第一个把这一誓言用文学记录了下来的人。这一誓 言中有封建行会及迷信的色彩,但其基本精神被视为医生行为规范,沿用了 2000多年。直到今日，在很多国家很多医生就业时还必须按此誓言宣誓。以 下是希波克拉底誓言，使每一个以学生步入医师所宣的誓言: Hippocrates:The Oath of Medicine You do solemnly swear, each by whatever he or she holds most sacred That you will be loyal to the Profession of Medicine and just and generous to its members That you will lead your lives and practice your art in uprightness and honor That into whatsoever house you shall enter, it shall be for the good of the sick to the utmost of your power, your holding yourselves far aloof from wrong, from corruption, from the tempting of others to vice That you will exercise your art solely for the cure of your patients, and will give no drug, perform no operation, for a criminal purpose, even if solicited, far less suggest it That whatsoever you shall see or hear of the lives of men or women which is not fitting to be spoken, you will keep inviolably secret These things do you swear. Let each bow the head in sign of acquiescence And now, if you will be true to this, your oath, may prosperity and good repute be ever yours; the opposite, if you shall prove yourselves forsworn. 译文如下: 仰赖医神阿波罗?埃斯克雷波斯及天地诺神为证～鄙人敬谨直誓～愿以自身能力及判断力所及～遵守此约。凡授我艺者～敬之如父母～作为终身同业伴侣～彼有急需～我接济之。视彼儿女～犹我兄弟～如欲受业～当免费并无条件传授之。凡我所知～无论口授书传～俱传之吾与吾师之子及发誓遵守此约之生徒～此外不传与他人。 我愿尽余之能力与判断力所及～遵守为病家谋利益之信条～并检柬一切堕落和害人行为～我不得将危害药品给与他人～并不作该项之指导～虽有人请求亦必不与之。尤不为妇人施堕胎手术。我愿以此纯洁与神圣之精神～终身执行我职务。凡患结石者～我不施手术～此则有待于专家为之。 无论至于何处～遇男或女～贵人及奴婢～我之唯一目的～为病家谋幸福～并检点吾身～不作各种害人及恶劣行为～尤不作诱奸之事。凡我所见所闻～无论有无业务关系～我认为应守秘密者～我愿保守秘密。尚使我严守上述誓言时～请求神祗让我生命与医术能得无上光荣～我苟违誓～天地鬼神实共亟之。
