Saint [[Luke]] was a [[physician]] and was also the author of one of the four [[Gospel]] accounts in the [[Bible]]. Most people remember him for his authorship of this account, but few people remember him as a physician.

Saint [[Luke]] was a [[physician]] and was also the author of one of the four [[Gospel]] [[Gospel of Luke|accounts]] in the [[Bible]]. Most people remember him for his authorship of this account, but few people remember him as a physician.

Many more people remember [[Hippocrates]] of Cos, the physician who wrote the famous [[Hippocratic Oath|Oath]] that bears his name. But most of those who remember Hippocrates, fail to grasp that modern physicians honor his Oath more in the breach than in the actual observance. Most physicians will say, if asked, that they took the Hippocratic Oath upon receiving their medical degrees. But the oath they likely took is a watered-down version of which perhaps three of Hippocrates' original six points remain.
