  privilege and a sacred trust and will assist
  the Medical Department Officer with loyalty
  and honesty.
   
  I will not knowingly permit harm to come
  to any patient.
   
  I will not partake of nor administer any
  unauthorized medication.
   
  I will hold all personal matters pertaining
  to the private lives of patients in strict
  confidence.
   
  I dedicate my heart, mind and strength to
  the work before me.
   
  I shall do all within my power to show
  in myself an example of all that is
  honorable and good throughout my
  naval career.
