That I will lead my life
And practice my art
In uprightness and honor.
That into whatsoever home I shall enter,
It shall be for the good of the sick and the well
to the utmost of my power
And that I will hold myself aloof from wrong
And from corruption and from the tempting
of others to vice.
That I will exercise my art,
Solely for the cure of my patients and the
prevention of disease
And will give no drug nor perform any operation
for a criminal purpose,
And far less suggest such thing.
That whatsoever I shall see or hear of the lives of
men
Which is not fitting to be spoken abroad,
I shall keep inviolaby secret.
These things I do promise
And in proportion as I am faithful to this oath,
May happiness and good repute be ever mine,
The opposite if I shall be foresworn.
