I pledge to help those in need of my art, striving to excel, do good, and act justly, respecting the dignity, worth and privacy of each one.

Which reminds me of a quote I heard about Bishop Sheen. Someone observed him getting out of a chauffeured limousine for his weekly TV show and expressed surprise about his largesse. He commented, “I’m a Jesuit. I never took a vow of poverty.”

I have in vain waited for someone to poke at me with some comment about taking the Hippocratic Oath, with some chastisement or coercion in mind.

I graduated from medical school out of phase with my class, a quarter late, and since I needed to be at my internship, I never went to my own graduation ceremony, and therefore never “took” the Hippocratic Oath. So there!
