Oath of the Hindu physician


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The oath of the Hindu physician, also known as the '''vaidyas oath', was an oath taken by Hindu physicians. It is dated from the 15th century BCE and requires physicians not to eat meat, drink, or commit adultery. Similar to the Hippocratic Oath, the vaidyas'' oath entreats physicians not to harm their patients and be solely devoted to their care, even if this put their lives in danger.
