Moreover, I pledge myself, so far | as I am able, to avoid the sins of selfishness; to shun | unwarranted publicity, dishonest money- seeking and | commercialism as disgraceful to our profession; to | refuse utterly all secret money trades with consultants | and practitioners; to teach the patient his financial duty | to the physician and to urge the practitioner to obtain | his reward from the patient openly; to make my fees | commensurate with the service rendered and with the | patient s rights; and to avoid discrediting my associates | by taking unwarranted compensation. « Finally, | 1 pledge myself to co-operate in advancing and | extending, by every lawful means within my power, | the influence of the American College of Surgeons. | iniiiiMiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiMiiiniiiiifR
