Abstract

The writings of Maimonides, the 12th-century physician, Talmudic and philosophic scholar, are remarkably relevant for modern medicine. Whereas the specific medical recommendations are obviously outdated, Maimonides’ perceptive insights into professional responsibilities and medical ethics remain as useful guides even in our postmodern era.
