caduceus

"I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick
according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice.
I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make
a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy.
In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art. I will not cut, and certainly not
those suffering from stone, but I will cede this to men who are practitioners of this activity.
Into as many houses as I may enter, I will go for the benefit of the ill, while being far from
all voluntary and destructive injustice, especially from sexual acts both upon women's
bodies and upon men's, both of the free and of the slaves..."
~The Hippocratic Oath, Hippocrates (460 BC–377 BC)
