      “A Great Physician should not pay attention to status, wealth or age; neither should he question whether the particular person is attractive or unattractive, whether he is an enemy or friend, whether he is a Chinese or a foreigner, or finally, whether he is uneducated or educated. He should meet everyone on equal grounds. He should always act as if he were thinking of his close relatives” – what is this from and who wrote it?
      Answer.
      Sun Simiao (581-682)
      Sun Simiao wrote the text – “On the Absolute Sincerity of Great Physicians“, from which the excerpt is taken. It is often referred to as the “Chinese Hippocratic Oath”.
