Hippocratic

“While I certainly believe in the medical profession, what I’ve seen here is that the bottom line is what’s trumping what I used to believe was the Hippocratic oath,” Lorigo told The Daily Beast.

Writing about medical science, such as it was 2,400 years ago, Hippocrates identified “knowledge” as belonging to those truly in the know and “opinion” as the province of the ignorant.

The Hippocratic injunction to “first, do no harm,” should be scrupulously respected.

“There is an understood first ladies' version of the Hippocratic oath,” said Troy.

One of these which prevailed throughout the Hippocratic works is that of Coction and Crisis.

From all this it will be seen that Galen must be regarded as one of the earliest of Hippocratic dogmatists.

Throughout his metaphysical speculations Galen reproduces and amplifies the Hippocratic dogmatism.
