Polio vaccine. Polio vaccines are vaccines used to prevent poliomyelitis (polio).[1] There are two types: one that uses inactivated poliovirus and is given by injection (IPV), and one that uses weakened poliovirus and is given by mouth (OPV).
The Hippocratic Oath. The Hippocratic Oath (Î¿ÏÎºÎ¿Ï) is perhaps the most widely known of Greek medical texts. It requires a new physician to swear upon a number of healing gods that he will uphold a number of professional ethical standards. It also strongly binds the student to his teacher and the greater community of physicians with responsibilities similar to that of a family member.
Hippocratic Oath: One of the oldest binding documents in history, the Oath written by Hippocrates is still held sacred by physicians: to treat the ill to the best of one's ability, to preserve a patient's privacy, to teach the secrets of medicine to the next generation, and so on. There are many versions of the Hippocratic Oath. We here present two versions. First, the classic version (or more precisely, one translation of the original oath). And then, following it, is presented one of the fine modern versions of the Hippocratic Oath.
