The Oath of HippocratesI swear by Apollo, the physician, the Aesculapius, and

Health and All-Heal, and by God and by whatever I hold

most sacred, that according to my ability and judgment, I

will keep this Oath and this stipulation - I will look uponthose who shall have taught me this Art even as one of myparents. I will share my substance with them, and I will

supply the necessities if they be in need. I will regard their

offspring in the same footing as my own brethren, and I will

teach this art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or

covenant. I will impart a knowledge of the Art by precept,

by lecture, and by every mode of teaching not only to myown children but to the children of those who have taught

me, and to disciples bound by covenant and oath, according

to the Law of Medicine, but to none other. The regimen I

adopt shall be for the benefit of my patients according to myability and judgment and I will abstain from whatever is

deleterious and mischievous. I will seek to inform mypatients fully about their illness and prognosis, and will

always remember that the final decision regarding their

own life rests with the patient. I will regard my patients

always as fellow human beings and will do everything

possible to preserve their dignity. With purity and holiness

I will my life and practice my Art. Whatsoever things I see

or hear concerning the life of men in my attendance, on the

sick or even apart therefrom, which ought not to be noised

abroad, I will keep silence thereon, counting such things to

be sacred secrets. While I continue to keep this Oathunviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the

practice of the Art, respected by all men, in all times. Butshould I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be

my lot.

In his parents' kitchen,

over a cup of tea, 9-yr old

Sebastian was explaining

the breakdown of RBCs tc

a couple of international

medical students. That's

how the whole thing

started and how the

kitchen talk extended into

N, medical studies...

What a long

journey it

has been!

Your family

is very proud

of you.

To our little sister Jessica, We are so proud of

you and your many accomplishments. Younever cease to amaze us with your talents,

athletic abilities, your brains, your passion for

helping others and your adventurous drive to

go beyond where no others could go. You can

do anything you set your mind to, no matter

what obstacles get in your way. We have seen

you do it, time and time again. It is because of

this drive that we know you will be very

successful as a doctor and in life.

Jessica, you are going to

be the best doctor on the

planet! Your ability to

stay calm and stay

iocused under pressure is

truly admirable. You've

done so much thus far in

Within a single

dream,

the journey of a

lifetime is launched.

If you can dream it,

you can become it.

Yet, becoming is but

one success,

only the

achievement...

it is in lessons learned,

lives touched, and

moments shared

along the journey.

Congratulations on living

your dream to become a

Doctor, and living deeply

in your journey. Yoursuccess is well earned. It

is both the end and the

beginning. Both of which

are reason to celebrate!

We are so

proud! Welove you

beyond

measure!!
