Extracted Contents:

• I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
• I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures that are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
• I will not be ashamed to say "I know not"

, nor will I fail to call in my

colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery.

• I will remember that I do not treat a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability.

My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.

• I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
