The text of the Hippocratic Oath has changed over the years. It is often abbreviated to the famous phrase, “First, do no harm.”

For the ethical doctor, these words aren’t just an oath — they are a command. They are meant to make even the smartest men pause and question what they are doing, why they are doing it, and who they are doing it to. The people in white coats are supposed to offer up solutions to our healing, not our self-destruction.
