<span style="color: #000000; font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial">
You do solemnly swear, each by whatever he or she holds most sacred
</span>
</p>
<p class=default>
<span style="color: #000000; font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial">
That you will be loyal to the Profession of Medicine and just and generous to its members
</span>
</p>
<p class=default>
<span style="color: #000000; font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial">
That you will lead your lives and practice your art in uprightness and honor
</span>
</p>
<p class=default>
<span style="color: #000000; font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial">
That into whatsoever house you shall enter, it shall be for the good of the sick to the
utmost of your power, your holding yourselves far aloof from wrong, from corruption, from
the tempting of others to vice
</span>
</p>
<p class=default>
<span style="color: #000000; font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial">
That you will exercise your art solely for the cure of your patients, and will give no
drug, perform no operation, for a criminal purpose, even if solicited, far less suggest it
</span>
</p>
<p class=default>
<span style="color: #000000; font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial">
That whatsoever you shall see or hear of the lives of men or women which is not fitting to
be spoken, you will keep inviolably secret
</span>
</p>
<p class=default>
<span style="color: #000000; font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial">
These things do you swear. Let each bow the head in sign of acquiescence
</span>
</p>
<p class=default>
<span style="color: #000000; font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial">
And now, if you will be true to this, your oath, may prosperity and good repute be ever
yours; the opposite, if you shall prove yourselves forsworn.
