The Oath of Hippocrates
I 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 upon
those who shall have taught me this Art even as one of my
parents. 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 my
own 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 my
ability and judgment and I will abstain from whatever is
deleterious and mischievous. I will seek to inform my
patients 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 Oath
unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the
practice of the Art, respected by all men, in all times. But
should 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. You
never 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
life, yet we feel that it's
only the beginning of what
you're capable of. We
love you and wish you the
best! ~ Your Bro and
Sis-in-law
From a precious
little ball of

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,
for the measure is not
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. Your
success is well earned. It
is both the end and the
beginning. Both of which
are reason to celebrate!
We are so
proud! We
love you
beyond
measure!!
