How Much Is  The Hippocratic  Oath? by Remikh Elena

Ksey_Gan

There lived in Attica a famous physician

His name was Hippocrates, keep in your mind.

He treated people and did not count his successes,

He never did not listen to what others said.

 

And they said this: "If you have an illness,

And you have no money at all, don’t worry

Go to HIM, to overcome your ailments,

Hippocrates will help even without coins."

 

There was also a rumor about Hippocrates:

"Other doctors are sentenced you mto death,

Forget it, OUR doctor will save you, praise him!

Believe him in spite of everything yet.

 

And if your soul is very heavy and alone,

And kind Hippocrates will help you, father:

He will talk to you alone, not abodon:

Words also heal, remember, brother!

 

But if a rich man came  to Hippocrates

for treatment, then it's a different story:

He takes obols from such people, centuplicate

After all, Hippocrates helped the people! poory.

 

I came to an appointment to  exeptience doctor

In one of the private clinics one day these days:

"We charge a lot for our services," - before

I heard again one of the first phrases.

 

Doctors only have profit on their minds,

And they take money from everyone indeed.

It's nice to read a book in deep,silence

About how the Great Hippocrates lived!
