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.
