Hippocrates (460-377 BC) was the founder of the Golden Age of Ancient Greek medicine, the father of Western medicine, and one of the greatest figures in the history of human medicine. The Hippocratic Oath was originally his personal code of medical ethics, later becoming a vow that all aspiring young doctors in Ancient Greece had to take upon becoming physicians. The Hippocratic Oath has been passed down for 2,400 years, becoming the sacred moral code of the medical profession from ancient times to the present. As a holy classic of professional ethics, the Hippocratic Oath's normative role extends far beyond the medical field, serving as a moral standard for governments, companies, and all human organizations to restrain human evil. Today, the Hippocratic Oath is almost synonymous with professional ethics and the conscience of one's career. As the earliest and most authoritative code of professional ethics, the Hippocratic Oath teaches people in the workplace to follow four moral standards:
1. Always be grateful to those who impart knowledge;
2. Act in the client's best interest;
3. Do not use one's profession for immoral purposes;
4. Strictly guard professional secrets.
