Cassiopeia (Constellation)

Mythology

The Queen Cassiopeia, wife of king Cepheus of Ethiopia, was beautiful but also arrogant and vain; these latter two characteristics led to her downfall. The boast of Cassiopeia was that both she and her daughter Andromeda were more beautiful than all the Nereids, the nymph-daughters of the sea god Nereus. This brought the wrath of Poseidon, ruling god of the sea, upon the kingdom of Ethiopia. Accounts differ as to whether Poseidon decided to flood the whole country or direct the sea monster Cetus to destroy it. In either case, trying to save their kingdom, Cepheus and Cassiopeia consulted a wise oracle, who told them that the only way to appease the sea gods was to sacrifice their daughter. Accordingly, Andromeda was chained to a rock at the sea's edge and left there to helplessly await her fate at the hands of the sea monster Cetus. But the hero Perseus arrived in time, killed Cetus, saved Andromeda and ultimately became her husband. Since Poseidon thought that Cassiopeia should not escape punishment, he placed her in the heavens tied to a chair in such a position that, as she circles the celestial pole in her throne, she is upside-down half the time.

The Oath of Hippocrates

I do most solemnly swear by that which I hold most sacred:

That I will be loyal to the Profession of Medicine and just and generous to its Members:

That I will lead my life and practice my art in uprightness and honor:

That into whatsoever house I will enter, it shall be for the good of the sick and the well to the utmost of my power,and that I will hold myself aloof from wrong and corruption, from the tempting of others to vice:

I will exercise my art solely for the cure of my patients and will give no drug, perform no operation for a criminal purpose and far less suggest a thing.

That whatsoever I shall see or hear in the lives of men which is not fitting to be spoken, I will keep inviolably secret. These things I do swear.

These things I do promise and in the proportion as I am faithful to this oath, may happiness and good repute be mine, the opposite if I shall be forsworn.
