For 2,400 years, physicians have honored Hippocrates’ sacred vow to treat a patient with empirical, scientific wisdom and ethical consideration. However, as James C. Christensen wittily reveals in "The Oath, " not all aspects of medical antiquity have stood the test of time and Hippocrates could never have imagined some others. Just as attorneys everywhere warmly responded to the self-deprecating humor of Christensen’s image "A Lawyer More Than Adequately Attired in Fine Print, " we think members of the medical profession will appreciate a healthy dose of "The Oath." Accompanied by a decorative Hippocratic Oath suitable for framing and a key of over 60 medical references.
