Who put the "hip" in the Hippocratic oath?

So in my last dream(nightmare) last night I was in this huge mansion where (long story short) if there were more than 16 people in the building at once, anyone who came within a certain perameter of the center would be compelled by a mysterious force to commit a ritual suicide in the reflecting pool. After finding my way into a medical ward (it was a big house) and explaining the situation to those I found, the attending physician suggested we force the ill and injured out to the center of the building so we could spare ourselves. She may have been on to something. . .
