Hippocratic Oath I promise to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:

Hippocratic Oath I promise to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant: I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug.

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

If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life after 7th grade with a passing semester average and strive to remember that if I fail in my oath, I will have my license to practice 7th grade medicine revoked, my clinic closed, and the wrath of my beloved teacher upon me.
