PLEASE HELP
The Hippocratic Oath (The Modern Version)
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment this convenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge and is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding ghost wind traps of over treatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is Art to Medicine as well as science, and that warmed, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemists drug.
I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another or are needed for a patient's recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death.
If it is given to me to say we life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect a person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mine and body as well as the infirm.
if I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.
