These paragraphs seemed too modern to me. Other than that, I liked it. Very appropriate. But I am biased, i think

Read a gorgeous oath at a friends graduation Sunday. I like it much more than the Hippocratic Oath, and am wondering if we should base our oath more on it.... Tell me what you think!
Oath of Maimonides
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The eternal providence has appointed me to watch over the life and health of Thy creatures. May the love for my art actuate me at all time; may neither avarice nor miserliness, nor thirst for glory or for a great reputation engage my mind; for the enemies of truth and philanthropy could easily decieve me and make me forgetful of my lofty aim of doing good to Thy children.
May I never see in the patient anything but a fellow creature in pain.
Grant me the strength, time and opportunity always to correct what I have aquired, always to extend its domain; for knowledge is immense and the spirit of man can extend indefintely to enrich itself daily with new requirements.
Today he can discover his errors of yesterday and tomorrow he can obtain a new light on what he thinks himself sure of today. Oh, God, Thou has appointed me to watch over the life and death of Thy creatures; here am I ready for my vocation and now I turn unto my calling.

That is lovely!
Gregory House could never have sworn it. (g) That makes it even more lovely.
