: : : Question - The Hippocratic Oath has been used for centuries by physicians and some portions of it adopted by other health care professions. How has it changed over the years?
: : Did everyone get a chance to read the Internet article on "Physician Codes and Oaths?" The first section on "The Use of the Hippocratic Oath" is a very interesting analysis of how the oath and the use of the oath has changed over the years.
