The Beowulf Code is a Code Of Ethics for Medical Practictioners within the Honorverse (the setting of many science fiction stories by David Weber ). It is similar to the Hippocratic Oath . The ''Beowulf Code'' originated on the planet Beowulf , in the Sigma Draconis system. The planet is renown for its medical establishment. Its practictioners developed a code of ethics in the wake of Earth's Final War . It supplants the ''Hippocratic Oath'' in the Honor Harrington universe. One of the provisions of the code is Practitioner-Patient Confidentiality. However this clause has stipulations on circumstances where Confidentiality can be involuntarily violated, or can be waived by one party without consent of the other party. |
