Oath of Hippocrates

About Us

We have dedicated our lives to upholding the "Oath of Hippocrates". The following is a modern adaptation of those words:

"I do solemnly swear be whatever 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 profession 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, holding myself far aloof from wrong, from corruption, from the tempting of others to vice;
That I will exercise my profession solely for the cure of my patients, and will give no drug, perform no operation, for criminal purpose, even if solicited, far less suggest it;
That whatsoever I shall see or hear of the lives of men, which is not fitting to be spoken, I will keep inviolably secret. These things I do swear.
And now, should I be true to this, my oath, may prosperity and good repute be ever mine; the opposite, should I prove myself forsworn;
Life is short, and the Art long; the occasion fleeting; experience fallacious, and judgment difficult. The physician must not only be prepared to do what is right himself, but also to make the patient, the attendants, and externals cooperate."
