Physician's Oath of 1968.
"
I solemnly pledge to consecrate my life to the service of humanity. I
will give to my teachers the respect and gratitude that is their due. I
will practice my profession with conscience and dignity. The health of
my patients will be my number one first consideration. I will respect
the secrets that are confided in me, even after my patient has died. I
will maintain by all the means in my power, the honor and the noble
traditions of the medical profession. My colleagues will be my sisters
and brothers. I will not permit considerations of age, disease or
disability, creed, ethnic origin, gender, race, political affiliation,
nationality, sexual orientation, social standing or any other fact to
intervene between my duty and my patient. I will maintain the utmost
respect for human life. I will not use my medical knowledge to violate
human rights and civil liberties, even under threat. I make these
promises solemnly, freely and upon my honor.
"
I think it's beautiful.
