Among the many proposals available for purchase in the online catalogue of Il Mercante di Stampe , there is also a high-resolution digital print of The Hippocratic Oath , a symbolic text for every professional who works in the medical-surgical and dental fields and consequently a perfect idea as a gift for an imminent graduation in the sector.
The Hippocratic Oath is recited by students even before starting to practice the profession: a faith, a belief that every doctor answers to with honor throughout his life. According to Hippocrates (460-375 BC), in fact, doctors had to commit to respecting their teachers, to teach medicine only to those who had pronounced the same oath, to visit the sick and to prescribe treatments with the sole purpose of healing them and without ever using violence, to never prescribe deadly drugs, to never divulge the things learned in the practice of medicine (hence the birth of professional secrecy), to pursue as exclusive goals the defense of life, the protection of the physical and mental health of man and the relief of suffering, with responsibility and constant scientific, cultural and social commitment.
This print makes an ideal gift for new medical graduates, or as a "memorandum" to hang on the walls of the offices of professionals working in the medical-health field.
The attention to detail, the extremely high quality of the print, the brilliance of the colours and the sharpness of the details are all elements that make this product truly prestigious and capable of properly representing an equally prestigious milestone such as the beginning of a career in the medical field.
“For my medical degree, my godmother gave me the “Hippocratic Oath”. I can’t wait to have my own study to remind myself every day of the hours I spent studying.”
