Hippocrates: Still no royalty check from ER, House, or Grey’s. Lawyer’s on it, but I’m getting madder and madder with each episode.

From Wikipedia: “The Hippocratic Oath is an oath traditionally taken by doctors swearing to ethically practice medicine. It is widely believed to have been written by Hippocrates, the father of western medicine, in the 4th century BC.”
