Dr.Pandey,M.B.B.S.,FRCS
Reg No. 22345

|
|
and all the gods and goddesses, that,
according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this Oath and this
stipulation- to reckon him who taught me this Art equally dear to me as my
parents, to share my substance with him, and relieve his necessities if
required; to look upon his offspring in the same footing as my own brothers, and
to teach them this art, if they shall wish |
|
|
to learn it, without fee or
stipulation; and that by precept, lecture, and every other mode of instruction,I will impart a knowledge of the Art to my own sons, and those of my teachers,
and to disciples bound by a stipulation and oath according to the law of
medicine, but to none others. will I follow that system of regimen which,
according to my ability and judgment, I
consider for the benefit
of my patients ,and abstain from
whatever is deleterious and mischievous.I will give no deadly
medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner. I
will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion. With purity and with
holiness. I will pass my life and practice my Art. I will not cut persons
laboring under the stone, but will leave this to be done by men who are
practitioners of this work. Into whatever houses I enter, I will go into them
for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act of
mischief and corruption; and, further from the seduction of females or males, of
freemen and slaves. Wwhatever, in connection with my professional practice or
not, in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which ought not
to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be
kept secret. While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to
me to enjoy life and the practice of the art, respected by all men, in all
times! But should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot!
