E.M.T. OATH

Be it pledged as an Emergency Medical Technician, I will honor the physical
and judicial laws of of God and man. I will follow that regimen which, according
to my ability and judgement, I consider for the benefit of patients and abstain form
whatever is deleterious and mischievous, nor shall I suggest any such counsel.
Into whatever honors 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 all 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.
