    Oath of Hippocrates

    I solemnly swear or affirm, by whatever I hold most scared; That I will be loyal; to the profession of medicine and just and generous to its members; That I will lead my life and practice my art in uprightness and in honor; That into whatsoever house I shall enter, it shall be for the good of the sick to the utmost of my power, holding myself far aloof from wrong, from corruption, from the tempting of others to vice; That I will exercise my art solely for the benefit of my patient, and will give no drug, or perform no operation, for a criminal purpose, even if solicited, far less suggest it; That whatsoever I shall see or hear of the lives of patients which is not fitting to be spoken, I will keep inviolably secret. These things I do swear of affirm.
