EMT Oath

Be it pledged as an Emergency Medical Technician, I will honor the laws of
God and man. I will follow the regimen which, according to my ability and
judgement, I consider for the benefit of patients and abstain from whatever
is deterious and mischevious nor shall I suggest any such counsel. Into
whatever homes I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of only the sick
and injured never revealing what I see or hear in the lives of men unless
required by law.

I shall also share my medical knowledge with those who may benefit from
what I have learned. I will serve unselfishly and continuously in order to
help make a better world for mankind.

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.
Should I trespass or violate this oath may the reverse be my lot, so help me
God.
