EMT Oath

[MMiz]

I never heard of the EMT Oath until I did some searching on google. Has anyone else heard of it? It seems that it has been around since the 70s or so. Well here it is:

EMT Oath

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

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.

Awesome, MMiz. I'd heard it once before, but never got around to searching for it again.

Thanks for searching and posting. I knew that the oath existed, but looking for it was one of those things that I never got around to either.
