Hippocrates quotes - page 4

Hippocrates was an ancient Greek physician, often called the "Father of Medicine." His teachings laid the foundation for modern medical ethics and clinical practice. He is remembered for the Hippocratic Oath, a code of conduct still influential in medicine today. Here are 77 of his quotes:

All these require arrangements, depending on the materials, so that you can have the tools, the equipment, the metallics and the rest of it already prepared. Because the shortage of these things creates embarrassment and causes harm. For your trips, you will carry a simple and portable kit. The most appropriate is the one which follows a methodic layout, because the physician cannot keep everything in mind. (Hippocrates)

Both Plato and Aristotle approved of abortion, the former in the interests of wise population policy, the latter chiefly on the ground that it was an element of the family's proper freedom in the state. Hippocrates' words on the subject are, in the original Greek, somewhat less blunt and categorical than modern takers of the Hippocratic Oath have sometimes suggested. All Hippocrates says is: "I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion.” There were other means of abortion known to the Greeks, none of which Hippocrates abjures.
