sandali lang...THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH
I swear by Apollo Physician and Asclepius and Hygieia and Panaceia and all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will fulfil according to my ability and judgment this oath and this 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 have taken an oath according to the medical law, but no one else.
I will apply dietetic measures 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 who 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 favor of such men as are engaged 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 female and male persons, be they free or slaves.
What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must 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 honored 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.
oo nga't sumumpa ako na gagawin ko ang lahat ng aking makakaya upang gamutin ang mga maysakit at gagawa ng paraan upang maiwasan ang kanilang pagkakasakit pero hindi kasama sa sinumpaan ko na lahat ng oras ko ay ilalaan ko sa kanila. kailangan ko din naman kumain at bigyan ng oras ang aking sarili at ang aking pamilya. oo nga't doktor ako pero gaya nila, tao din ako. katulad nila, mayroon din akong mga pangangailangan, mga pangarap at higit sa lahat, mayroon din akong damdamin. nagugutom , nagkakasakit at nangangailangan din naman ako ng pahinga.
mayroon kaming itinalagang oras kung kelan kami nasa klinik. kadalasan, hindi bumababa sa isang oras ang aming mga clinic hours at iyon ay ipinapaalam namin sa mga pasyente at kamag-anak ng mga pasyente. kaya naman kung may dumadating kung kelan lagpas na sa itinalaga naming oras, hindi namin maiwasan ang mainis. lalong-lalo na kung tatawagan nila kami upang huwag munang umalis sa klinik at antayin silang dumating dahil kakagising lamang ni baby. ang sa akin lamang, pwede namang dalhin si baby sa doktor kahit siya ay tulog. nagbibigay din naman kami ng konsiderasyon lalo na kung ito ay emergency pero kung ang appointment naman ay matagal nang itinakda ng inyong doktor, sana naman dumating kayo sa tamang oras.
alam ko namang kung hindi dahil sa mga pasyente ay wala din naman akong ipambibili ng pagkain kung ako'y nagugutom. mahalaga sa akin ang aking mga pasyente at tunay namang inaalagaan ko silang mabuti. ngunit sana naman, maunawaan din nila na hindi sa lahat ng panahon ay nandiyan ako.
