Ὄμνυμι Ἀπόλλωνα ἰητρὸν, καὶ Ἀσκληπιὸν, καὶ Ὑγείαν, καὶ Πανάκειαν, καὶ θεοὺς πάντας τε καὶ πάσας, ἵστορας ποιεύμενος, ἐπιτελέα ποιήσειν κατὰ δύναμιν καὶ κρίσιν ἐμὴν ὅρκον τόνδε καὶ ξυγγραφὴν τήνδε.

Ἡγήσασθαι μὲν τὸν διδάξαντά με τὴν τέχνην ταύτην ἴσα γενέτῃσιν ἐμοῖσι, καὶ βίου κοινώσασθαι, καὶ χρεῶν χρηίζοντι μετάδοσιν ποιήσασθαι, καὶ γένος τὸ ἐξ ωὐτέου ἀδελφοῖς ἴσον ἐπικρινέειν ἄῤῥεσι, καὶ διδάξειν τὴν τέχνην ταύτην, ἢν χρηίζωσι μανθάνειν, ἄνευ μισθοῦ καὶ ξυγγραφῆς, παραγγελίης τε καὶ ἀκροήσιος καὶ τῆς λοιπῆς ἁπάσης μαθήσιος μετάδοσιν ποιήσασθαι υἱοῖσί τε ἐμοῖσι, καὶ τοῖσι τοῦ ἐμὲ διδάξαντος, καὶ μαθηταῖσι συγγεγραμμένοισί τε καὶ ὡρκισμένοις νόμῳ ἰητρικῷ, ἄλλῳ δὲ οὐδενί.

Διαιτήμασί τε χρήσομαι ἐπ’ ὠφελείῃ καμνόντων κατὰ δύναμιν καὶ κρίσιν ἐμὴν, ἐπὶ δηλήσει δὲ καὶ ἀδικίῃ εἴρξειν.

Οὐ δώσω δὲ οὐδὲ φάρμακον οὐδενὶ αἰτηθεὶς θανάσιμον, οὐδὲ ὑφηγήσομαι ξυμβουλίην τοιήνδε. Ὁμοίως δὲ οὐδὲ γυναικὶ πεσσὸν φθόριον δώσω. Ἁγνῶς δὲ καὶ ὁσίως διατηρήσω βίον τὸν ἐμὸν καὶ τέχνην τὴν ἐμήν.

Οὐ τεμέω δὲ οὐδὲ μὴν λιθιῶντας, ἐκχωρήσω δὲ ἐργάτῃσιν ἀνδράσι πρήξιος τῆσδε.

Ἐς οἰκίας δὲ ὁκόσας ἂν ἐσίω, ἐσελεύσομαι ἐπ’ ὠφελείῃ καμνόντων, ἐκτὸς ἐὼν πάσης ἀδικίης ἑκουσίης καὶ φθορίης, τῆς τε ἄλλης καὶ ἀφροδισίων ἔργων ἐπί τε γυναικείων σωμάτων καὶ ἀνδρῴων, ἐλευθέρων τε καὶ δούλων.

Ἃ δ’ ἂν ἐν θεραπείῃ ἢ ἴδω, ἢ ἀκούσω, ἢ καὶ ἄνευ θεραπηίης κατὰ βίον ἀνθρώπων, ἃ μὴ χρή ποτε ἐκλαλέεσθαι ἔξω, σιγήσομαι, ἄῤῥητα ἡγεύμενος εἶναι τὰ τοιαῦτα.

Ὅρκον μὲν οὖν μοι τόνδε ἐπιτελέα ποιέοντι, καὶ μὴ ξυγχέοντι, εἴη ἐπαύρασθαι καὶ βίου καὶ τέχνης δοξαζομένῳ παρὰ πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις ἐς τὸν αἰεὶ χρόνον. παραβαίνοντι δὲ καὶ ἐπιορκοῦντι, τἀναντία τουτέων.

The Oath of Hippocrates – The Greek father of Medicine

Hippocrates was born on the greek island of Kos. He is the father of medicine. There is no better way to be welcomed on a medical website than the Oath of Hippocrates, in ancient greek letters. This is the text that gives guidance to every medical doctor as soon as he or she finishes medical school. As a medical student and, more importantly as a Greek, I strongly believe that this is the best way to set the foundation of this medical website.

What Is UncutMed?

Medicine is one of the most important bodies of knowledge in the world — yet most people are kept at arm’s length from it. Complex terminology, overly cautious language, and oversimplified explanations leave patients confused about their own bodies and their own health.

UncutMed exists to change that.

We write about medicine the way it should be written — accurately, clearly, and without unnecessary filters. Whether you are a patient trying to understand your diagnosis, a student looking to consolidate your knowledge, a medical professional searching for specific clinical information, or simply someone who wants to understand how the human body works, UncutMed is written for you.

Every article on this site is researched thoroughly and written with clinical precision. We do not water down the science — we make it accessible while keeping its true essence.

What You Will Find Here

UncutMed covers a broad range of medical topics organised into clear categories:

  • Laboratory & Diagnostics. Understand what blood tests, urine tests, and imaging results actually mean — value by value, marker by marker.
  • Anatomy & Physiology. Learn how the body’s systems work in health to better understand what happens to the various systems when the body is ill.
  • Diseases & Conditions. Clear, clinically accurate explanations of common and complex medical conditions — causes, mechanisms, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.
  • Pharmacology. How medications work, what they are used for, and what to be aware of when taking them.
  • Medical Procedures. Demystifying the tests, scans, and procedures that doctors order — what to expect and why they matter.
