In order to determine the qualities of a physician and the duties and behaviors of physicians towards their patients and other physicians, many efforts and enterprises are known from the Hippocratic era. Many physicians and surgeons wrote either a section in their medical and surgical books or detached works in order to draw attention to this subject in Islamic Geography. The physician Emir Çelebi, as well, wrote a medical book entitled Enmûzecü’t-Tıb (A Sample of Medicine) in the name of Kapûdân-ı Deryâ (The Lord High Admiral and Minister of Marine of the Ottoman Empire) Recep Pasha in the 17th century in the Ottoman Empire, and gave deontological advice and some important recommendations on dissection of the human body to students in the last chapter of this book. After becoming the private physician of Kapûdân-ı Deryâ Recep, Emir Çelebi joined the special physicians of the Sultan in İstanbul, was promoted as the head physician of the Ottoman Palace after a short time, and continued his duty during Sultan Mustafa I, Sultan Osman II and Sultan Murad IV periods of the Ottoman Empire until his death in 1638. He also wrote other books, entitled Netîcetü’t-Tıb (Consequence of Medicine) and Rebî’ü’s-Selâme (Spring Season of Safety).
