Ethical Aspects of the Hippocratic Corpus text De arte.

The practice of medicine is a complex situation from an ethical point of view in the modern Western societies. But some very simple principles could help the immediate and effective response, at least to a percentage of the problems encountered. Such assistance can be derived from the writings of the Hippocratic Corpus, not only from the so-called ethical or theoretical texts. In this direction, the book titled De arte contains remarks about the right way of practicing medicine and the skills needed by the doctor.
