ippnrrzziir nth I solemnly promise, in the presence of all these witnesses, that in the spirit of the Great Physician l will fulfill according to my ability and judgment this oath and this covenant: I will hold in all deserved respect those who have taught me the science and art of medicine and will share all that I may learn here- after with others of the medical profession. I will apply dietetic, hygienic, and therapeutic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment, I will do my best to keep them from harm and injustice. I will neither give a lethal dose to anybody if asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly, I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy, except in accord with medical ethics. From any base uses I will guard my life and my art. I will not undertake any medical or surgical procedure for which I am not trained, but will call upon such men as are qualified for this work. Into whatever houses I may enter, I will go only for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice, of all mischief, and in particular of all immoral conduct. What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even out- side of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account should be spread abroad, I will keep secret. I will not knowingly and unjustly, by speech or by silence, diminish the trust reposed in another physician by his patients. If I fulfill this oath and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being honored among men for all time to-comej if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite of all this be my lot.
