“y“you can not separate passion from pathology any more than you
can separate a person’s spirit from his body… Gaze long enough at your
patients, and from even the driest husk there will fly upward a shower
of sparks that, to him who gazes, will coalesce into a little flame…
Place your hand over the patient’s heart. Let your fingers receive its
beat… Now listen with a stethoscope… Listening to the heart is like
learning the songs of birds. A song once heard and identified is your
own from then on.”
From
Letters to a Young Doctor
By Richard Selzer

The OaTh Of hippOcraTes
I do solemnly swear by that which I hold most sacred:
That I will be loyal to the profession of medicineand just and generous to its members
That I will lead my life and practice my art inuprightness and honor
That into whatsoever house I shall enter,it shall be for the good of the sick to the utmost of my power, holding
myself aloof from wrong,from corruption and from the tempting of others to vice
That I will exercise my art solely for the care ofmy patients and will give no drug and perform no operation
for a criminal purpose; far less suggest it
That whatsoever I shall see or hearof the lives of my patients which is not fitting
to be spoken, I will keep inviolably secret
These things I do promise and in proportionas I am faithful to this oath, may happiness and goodrepute be ever mine and may the opposite befall me
if I am false to my word.
