The fairs, too, however, have many other functions. For example, they serve as a scene of caste conventions, and as loci for the sharing of discoveries and research. It is here, for example, that physicians, and builders and artisans may meet and exchange ideas and techniques.
Beasts of Gor Book 12 Page 44
The Physicians are one of the five High Castes which make up the Gorean government. This is the caste of those who concern themselves with the healing arts. Surgeons, apothecaries, medical researches and health practitioners are all members of the caste. Universally recognized as non-combatants during time of war." ~ Tarnsman of Gor
We walk with pride and honor always.
We are the most technologically advanced Caste on Gor, as well as one of the highest Castes, with this honor means responsibility.
To Maintain the General Health of Gor.
To be caring and understanding to those in need.
To ensure all Patient/Physician information is kept confidential and health care records are maintained in a confidential manner if that is the request of the patient.
To perform each procedure with skill and knowledge no matter how small or large.
To know that if a procedure can not be performed giving the patient the best treatment for the good of the his/her health overall, that the physician stabilize the patient enough till a more qualified healer can.
To always perform in a sterilized manner and facility when available. If this is not possible, to a least make every attempt to keep the patient free from any infectious contaminants.
To respect the caste as a whole as much needed and highly regarded system on Gor.
To share ideas, contributions, and problems with those of the caste as a whole.
To never demean another physician in public.
Physician's Oath
There are many who wish to mix the common day medical oath to offer medical assistance to any and all who ask, and to harm none with our Gorean role play. However, based on the quotes Flamenius from Assassins of Gor, he indicates he has infected a high ranking official with Dar Kosis for reasons of revenge. This said, it should be understood that while it is in the best interests of the role play for physicians to be geared towards healing our wounded players, to use medical knowledge for harm is documented. Use this information with caution....documented or not, it's still treason if you are caught.
