The Hippocratic Oath in Elizabethan England is a book written by Sanford V. Larkey that explores the practice of medicine in England during the 16th century. The book focuses on the Hippocratic Oath, a pledge taken by physicians to uphold ethical standards and protect the well-being of their patients.
