I solemnly swear by all that I hold most sacred that to the best of my ability and judgement, I will keep this Oath and this Covenant:
I will be loyal to the Profession of Medicine and just and generous to its members.
I will by precept, discourse and instruction, written, oral and practical, assist in imparting knowledge of the Art to disciples similarly bound by Oath and Covenant according to the Law of Medicine.
I will follow that system of conduct and treatment which, according to my ability and judgement, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous.
I will give no deadly drug nor perform any operation for a criminal purpose, even if solicited, nor will I suggest any such counsel. With purity and holiness I will pass my life and practice my Art.
Into whatever houses I enter, I will go for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption.
Whatever in connection with my professional practice, or not in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of others, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret.
While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the Art, respected by all; but should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot.
HIPPOCRATIC OATH
