Editing Hippocratic Oath (section)

==="First do no harm"===
{{Main|Primum non nocere}}
Although it is often said that "First do no harm" ({{Langx|la|Primum non nocere}}) is a part of the original Hippocratic oath, no such phrase from which "First" or "Primum" can be translated appears in the text of the original oath, although a similar intention is vowed by, "I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm". Another related phrase is found in Epidemics, Book I, of the Hippocratic school: "Practice two things in your dealings with disease: either help or do not harm the patient".<ref>{{cite book|editor1-last=Lloyd|editor1-first=Geoffrey|title=Hippocratic Writings|date=1983|publisher=Penguin Books|location=London|isbn=978-0-14-044451-3|pages=[https://archive.org/details/hippocraticwriti0000hipp/page/94 94]|edition=2nd|url=https://archive.org/details/hippocraticwriti0000hipp/page/94}}</ref> and it likely took shape from longstanding popular nonmedical expression.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Suss |first=Richard A. |date=November 21, 2024 |title=''First Do No Harm'' Is Proverbial, Not Hippocratic |journal=OSF Preprints |language=en |doi=10.31219/osf.io/c23jq}}</ref>
