摘要

医学是一切艺术中最高尚的;但是,由于那些实践它的人的无知,以及那些轻率地对它们作出判断的人的无知,它目前远远落后于所有其他艺术。在我看来,他们的错误主要是由于在城市里,对玩忽职守的人(或仅仅是玩忽职守的人)除了羞辱之外,没有任何惩罚,而这并不会伤害到那些熟悉它的人。这些相当强烈的批评言辞出自历史上最杰出的医生——希波克拉底。”受人尊敬的希波克拉底誓言要求每一位医生都这样宣告:无论我进入什么房子,我都将为病人的利益而去,并将避免任何自愿的破坏和腐败行为。希波克拉底对医疗行业本身和社会纪律的关注在公元前1750年的《汉谟拉比法典》中找到了同源,该法典规定,如果医生通过手术导致一个人死亡或失明,医生的手指将被切断。如果他造成一个奴隶的死亡,他有义务归还一个同等价值的奴隶。后来的罗马《查士丁尼法典》也作了类似的规定,如果一个外科医生在给他的奴隶做手术后,又完全疏忽治疗,或手术不熟练,以致奴隶死亡,他应在前一年对该奴隶的最高价值负责。

Conspiracy of Silence
Medicine is of all the arts the most noble; but, owing to the ignorance of those who practice it, and of those who, inconsiderately, form a judgment of them, it is at present far behind all the other arts. Their mistake appears to me to arise principally from this, that in the cities there is no punishment connected with the malpractice of medicine (and with it alone) except disgrace, and that does not hurt those who are familiar with it. T HESE RATHER STRONG WORDS of criticism are those of the most distinguished physician of history-Hippocrates.' The revered Hippocratic Oath calls upon every physician to proclaim: 2 Into whatever houses I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption. Hippocrates' concern for discipline of the medical profession by itself and by society found its cognate in the Code of Hammurabi of 1750 B. C., which provided that if a physician caused a man's death or the loss of his eye by an operation, the physician's fingers were to be cut off. If he caused the death of a slave, he was obliged to restore a slave of equal value. 3 The later Justinian Code of the Romans made a similar provision, that if a surgeon operates on one's slave, and then neglects altogether to attend to his cure, or operates unskillfully, so that the slave dies in consequence, he is liable for the highest value of that slave within the preceding year. 4 In this country our own legal history includes the very early malpractice case of Cross v. Guthrie 5 in 1794 when a jury awarded $120.00 for the wrongful death of the plaintiff's wife as a result of the de
