Athens, 430 B.C.E. It's the first year of the Great Peloponnesian War. With the armies of Sparta and her allies marching through the Greek countryside, the Athenian citizens take refuge behind the city's fortified walls. It was the soundest strategy by Athens' most revered leader...until the arrival of the plague. As the death toll from disease looks to decimate the population, Athens puts its trust in the father of Western Medicine himself, Hippocrates. Can a medical art still in its infancy stop the deadliest epidemic in ancient Greek history? "Sometimes I think it's hard to be an emergency physician in the 21st century. Then I read Hippocrates and realized it could be much worse: I could be fighting the Plague of Athens during the Peloponnesian War with Sparta, armed with nothing but my powers of observation, a few acolytes, and a bulb of garlic. Hippocrates is a lighthearted but sometimes appalling reminder of how far we've come from 430 BC and "the father of modern medicine," written by clever real-life physician and coroner, Dr. Frank Warsh." - Dr. Melissa Yi, author of Code Blues

This book articulates the Hippocratic Oath as establishing the medical profession by a promise to uphold an internal medical ethic that particularly prohibits doctors from killing. In its most basic and least controvertible form, this ethic mandates that physicians help and not harm the sick.

"The Hippocratic Collection (Corpus Hippocraticum) consists of between sixty and seventy medical writings in the Ionic Greek dialect dating for the most part from a hundred year period around 400 BC. The works included in volume 1 are Ancient Medicine, Airs Waters Places, Epidemics I, Epidemics III, Oath, Precepts, and Nutriment. These works greatly in their form and content. Ancient Medicine and Airs Waters Places are essays formulated in elegant expository prose, in which their authors treat central questions of medical method. Epidemics I and III are primary witnesses to Hippocratic observation and experience. The Hippocratic Oath is, or pretends to be, a historical document, although its lack of historical context often leaves its interpreter at a loss. Unquestionably, however, its identification of many of the perennial ethical problems attached to medical practice, and its high moral ideal justify the reverence it has received for two millennia. Precepts is interesting for its author's thoughts on medical ethics, etiquette, and professionalism, in spite of the fact that the text often lacks logical coherence, and its language on several occasions defies comprehension. Nutriment, which is also often difficult to understand-although in this case the mystery may be partly the result of an intentional imitation of the language of the early Greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus-contains many speculative explanations how the three basic forms of nutriment (food, drink, and breath) interact with the body"--

First published in 1963, this book by University of Missouri Microbiology Professor Herbert S. Goldberg provides the reader with a picture of the life and times of Hippocrates, the “Father of Medicine.” Hippocrates was born on the island of Cos in 460 B.C., and his works remained for centuries the foundation of medical and biographical knowledge. In addition, it was Hippocrates daring approach to the problems of sickness and disease that drove the opening wedge into the wall of fear that surrounded human ills. Hippocrates scrupulous attention to professional ethics is honored even to this day by the medical oath that bears his name—The Hippocratic Oath. Goldberg accurately describes the professions and trades during Hippocrates time, as well as the early education of youth in ancient Greece. Medicines were not based on science, but on driving evil spirits from the body. Hippocrates scientific approach to the study and treatment of disease has deservedly earned for him the title of “Father of Medicine.”

Sometimes the "call" to enter medicine might just be a wrong number. In The Flame Broiled Doctor: From Boyhood to Burnout in Medicine, meet Dr. Frank Warsh, the very last person admitted to med school one year. Never quite finding his niche, Frank spends twenty years bouncing from one misadventure to another in residency, family practice, Public Health, and inner-city medicine. Finding comedy and hypocrisy at every turn, until anger, cynicism, and burnout finally take their toll, he's survived to tell the tale in this equally tragic and darkly funny memoir of life as a doctor. Death, faith, sex, urinary catheters...nothing is sacred and nothing is safe, from the angst of early medical school to the sanctimony of public health bureaucrats. This is medicine as it so often truly is, from its highest (drug-induced) heights to its deepest (and most irritable) bowels. You'll never think of doctors in quite the same way.
