neither the same nor the opposite

A hypochondriac is someone who is constantly worried about their health. They may think that the tiniest sneeze indicates a major health condition or a pimple is a cancerous lump. Hippocratic is the type of oath a doctor takes once they pass their medical exams. It states that a doctor will do no harm, help others, and various other ethical promises to ensure the best possible outcome for their patients. These words are nothing alike or opposite except that they have something to do with the field of health sciences.
