First, do no harm. This famous phrase comes from the Hippocratic Oath, and is a fundamental principle of medicine worldwide. In this episode, listen in as Megan and Alyssa discuss the real-life implications of 'doing no harm' and how this principle can both aid and hinder medical professionals in situations ranging from the exaggerated world of medical dramas, where a doctor might have to treat the man that injured their pregnant daughter, to more realistic emergency scenarios, such as a doctor needing to treat someone who's collapsed on a plane.
