The Physician's Prayer

Without hauteur or the braggart's tongue, not with an assumption of superiority over others, but as students seeking the truth, and as men sobered by the part we play in the drama of life-and-death, conscious of our limitations, rejoicing in what we have achieved throughout the ages, grateful for the many discoveries of modern times, with a vision of what is yet to be, let us press forward to the work that lies before us in the long road to our dream of the diseaseless future!
