It is Latin for, "first (or above all), do no harm".
Primum non nocere -- First, do no harm :}
Yes
"First do no harm". It is part of the Hippocratic Oath. This statement is not, repeat not, in any of the many versions of the Hippocratic Oath. Please see the Wikipedia entry for "primum non nocere" and "First do no harm". Moreover, it does not appear verbatim in any Hippocratic writings. Perhaps you all should do your homework. Cedric M. Smith, M.D.
Harmful: noxious, from Latin nocere, "to harm"Dangerous: perilous, from Latin periculum, "an attempt, risk"
Primum non nocere (the correct spelling) is Latin for "First, do no harm."Although this is not literally part of the Hippocratric Oath, the Oath does contain a similar statement: "to abstain from doing harm."
The word "noxious" is nearly identical to the Latin noxius (harmful) from nocere (to harm, injure).(This same root produces the antithetical "innocent", i.e not causing injury.)
Nothing really. If you've done your best and tried to assist the patient, and used common sense, all should be well. Remember your Hippocrates: Primum non nocere -- First, do no harm.
The phrase "First do no harm" is often attributed to the Hippocratic Oath, a medical oath traditionally taken by physicians. It emphasizes the ethical duty of healthcare providers to prioritize the well-being of patients and avoid causing harm. It is not clear who specifically wrote the phrase as it is a fundamental principle in medical ethics.
nuisance: Earliest occurrence in print is from around 1400 AD. "nuisance" Comes from Anglo-French nusancewhich in turn comes from old French nuisance.The stem of the word comes from the Latin nocere "to hurt".Our modern, softened sense of "annoyance" comes from the 19th century.
