First Do No Harm is an essential part of one of the oldest binding documents in history, The Hippocratic Oath. Attributed to Hippocrates, the father of medicine, its principles are still held sacred by doctors to this day and by the American Medical Association’s Code of Medical Ethics as an expression of ideal conduct for the physician. Yet some believe Western medicine and its procedures, as life saving as they are, do not always live up to this ideal standard.
