Stephan Mouhanna
I wish to maintain this oath throughout my status as a medical student and my career as a physician in the future:
I will carry out my role as a physician with utmost respect and maintaining equality for ALL individuals and will hold no prejudice.
May I do my best to serve the underserved. If they cannot cover the cost of care may I do my best to ensure that they get the care they need.
I will never overstep my limitations of care for personal gain. I must know when I can no longer help a patient.
I will maintain confidentiality of all things related to the patient, unless the secrecy of the information be detrimental to their or someone else’s health.
I will not use my medical knowledge to violate any human rights for my own personal gain. A patient’s health will always come first.
May I respect the autonomous decisions of my patients, even if their choices are detrimental to their health and I have done my utmost to inform them.
I shall care for my own health as well as my patients so that I may take care
