"The Oath" 2000 Hand-Signed & Numbered Lithograph Print - 1432/2950 James Christensen - Estimate: $200 - $450
For every doctor who believes laughter is truly the best medicine!
For 2,400 years, physicians have honored Hippocrates' sacred vow. However, as James C. Christensen wittily reveals in The Oath, not all aspects have stood the test of time.
A partial inventory of medical items depicted in The Oath, practical, historical, and fantastical (but which are which)?
Hippocrates himself
Leeches
Pager
"Medieval" eye chart
Alchemy fundamentals: Sulphur, antimony, etc.
Forms, more forms, and yet more forms!
St. John's Wort, goldenseal, garlic
Patient with a "minimal" urine sample
Ubiquitous latex gloves
Nervous rabbit — not too excited about participating in the diagnostic process
Gray's Anatomy, PDS, Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine — standard text
Traditional black bag
The artist adds, "I'm also sure Hippocrates could never have foreseen what upholding the Oath means for doctors now: the omnipresent beeper, the mountains of paperwork, the overwhelming choices of pharmacopeia. It all makes me glad I'm on the other end of the stethoscope!"
James C. Christensen
