It is in this oath to impart that moral bearing and center and ethical guidance to the student without regard to the teachings that may be contrary to it. To endeavor to instill in and reinforce that which we all know and believe in our core being to be true regarding morality and ethical practise of any art or profession. To impart that morality in future physicians that will allow them to be honest and just in their dealings, even to their own damage; to show benevolence to their fellows in time of distress; to bear pain and misfortune with fortitude and to adhere to the moral and ethical guidelines of the oath to deliver the best care to patients and most of all never do harm to anyone or give no deadly medicine. It was said once regarding the sense of right and wrong by someone much wiser than I: "The sense of right and wrong . . . is so delicate, so fitful, so easily puzzled, obscured, perverted, so subtle in its argumentative methods, so impressionable by education, so biased by pride and passion, so unsteady in its course, that in the struggle for existence amid the various exercises and triumphs of the human intellect, the sense is at once the highest of all teachers yet the least luminous" This statement speaks volumes about how we as individuals and we as a society struggle on a daily basis to maintain our moral center and ethical boundaries. If I were tasked to interpret the Hippocratic Oath and put it in my own words, I would do so while trying my best to adhere to all of the intended precepts of the original, and at the same time attempt to put it in a language understandable and acceptable to all regardless of race or nationality as I am sure it was intended at its origin. 1. I, do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm , to keep according to my ability and my judgment, the following : 2. To regard him who taught me this art with the highest degree of respect; to live at his place of teaching, if necessary, to pay him for his teaching ; To look upon his children as my own brothers and sisters, to teach them this art; and that by my teaching, I will impart a knowledge of this art to my own children, and to others wishing to be students according to the medical laws, and no others. 3. I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never   do   harm   to anyone . 4. I will give no deadly medicine to anyone if asked, nor suggest any such counsel ; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion . 5. But I will preserve the purity of my life, my morality, my ethical standards and my arts during all times and duties of my profession . 6. I will not perform surgery, even for patients who manifest the need for it, when I am not qualified; I will leave this to be performed by specialists in this area . 7. In every house where I come or place I perform my art, I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction from personal gain or pleasure. 8. All that may come to me in the exercise of my profession, I will keep secret and will never reveal . 9. If I keep this oath faithfully , may I enjoy my life and practise my profession , being respected by all and for all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may I be held accountable for those failings. Much more to come on the next page soon. Thank You... In the meantime please watch this and enjoy.
