                  “I do solemnly swear by that which I hold most sacred:

 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 honor;

                         That into whatsoever house I shall enter,
               it shall be for the good of the sick to the utmost of my power,
I, holding myself aloof from wrong, from corruption, from the tempting of others to vice;

               That I will exercise my art solely for the care of my patients,
            and will give no drug, 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 people, which is not fitting to be spoken,
                                 I will keep inviolably secret.

       These things I do promise and in proportion as I am faithful to this my oath
                      may happiness and good repute be ever mine —
                            the opposite if I shall be forsworn.”

                     Signature                                         Suffix
