I SWEAR

I will prescribe regimen for the good of my patients, according to my judgement and ability, and never do harm to anyone.
To please no one will i prescribe a deadly drug, nor give advice which may cause his death.Nor will I give a woman a pessary to procure abortion.
But I will preserve the purity of my life and my art……………
