do no harm: acción sin daño

Her *entire* book, translated into Spanish (as Accion sin daño), is available here.

Loses something in the translation if it doesn't have the same connotations of the Hippocratic oath as the original?

oh, I should have said that's how her book title was translated - just added that to the post ...
