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 patients and abstain from
whatever is deleterous and mischievous, 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.
