"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).
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.
