This issue’s cover shows a detail from the late<br />
eighteenth-century painting “Hippocrate<br />
Refusant Les Presents D’Artaxerces” by<br />
French painter Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-<br />
Trioson. The painting shows Hippocrates<br />
turning down gifts for his services as a<br />
physician. The graphic depiction of the Oath of<br />
Hippocrates is the oath adopted in 1949 by the<br />
Third General Assembly of the World <strong>Medical</strong><br />
Association in London. The oath, first<br />
conceived around the fifth century B.C., has<br />
changed over time, with Christians removing<br />
references to “pagan gods” and other versions<br />
eliminating references to slaves and abortion.<br />
The current oath has been in use since 1964.<br />
