He is thought to be the ‘‘Father of Medicine’’ & he is commonly portrayed as the paragon of the ancient physician & credited with coining the Hippocratic Oath, which is still relevant & in use today. The Hippocratic Oath is an oath of ethics historically taken by physicians & one of the most widely known of Greek medical texts. It requires a new physician to swear, by a number of healing gods, to uphold specific ethical standards. The Hippocratic Oath is considered as the earliest expression of medical ethics in the Western world.
