"Hippocratic Oath" is the 76th episode of the syndicated American science fiction television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. It is the third episode of the fourth season and is directed by castmember René Auberjonois (Constable Odo).[1][2]
Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures on Deep Space Nine, a space station located near a stable wormhole between the Alpha and Gamma quadrants of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Gamma Quadrant is home to the Dominion, a hostile empire that maintains control through its genetically engineered soldiers, the Jem'Hadar. In this episode, which explores the interaction between medical ethics and the duty of a soldier, Dr. Julian Bashir and Chief Miles O'Brien are captured by rogue Jem'Hadar.
