As a member of the healthcare team, I solemnly promise that I will to the best of my ability: honor the Profession of medicine, be generous to its members, and help them provide care for the sick. I will give my teachers the respect and gratitude that they deserve and share my knowledge with others. I recognize that this practice is a privilege that comes with a great deal of responsibility and I will not abuse it. I pledge my life to the service of helping others and place my patients’ interest before my own. I will practice with honesty, integrity, and compassion working with physicians and my colleagues to meet the needs of my patients. When someone comes to me for help I will not ask if the patient is rich or poor, old or young. I will
I will not alter any facts or rules just for personal benefit or gain, and will always be dependable, trustworthy and reliable for the organization. I promise to build my reputation only on the basis of merit, and nothing else. I strongly believe that in order to receive fair treatment from others, it is very important to demonstrate that within yourself first. Thus, I try my best to be polite and respectful to everyone I meet. This ensures that I don't add to anyone's problems, if any, and provides for polite interaction with everyone I encounter. With integrity comes courage. I will never hesitate to stand up for what is right, and I will do so even if I am in a difficult situation that demands me to ignore my personal feelings. I will always support the truth and never let anyone influence me to do otherwise. I will not give in to peer pressure and will never let the fear of failing affect my actions. I would like to conclude by saying that it is the responsibility of every healthcare administrator to abide by a code of ethics in healthcare that will benefit not only themselves, but also their working environment, and society as a whole. My list of personal ethics will definitely help me fulfill my responsibility as a healthcare
Honorable doctors do their best to uphold the Hippocratic oath by being kind to their patients and doing their best to connect. At Harvard, they are now teaching how to connect and bond with patients through Patient-Doctor classes to create a more effective and comforting hospital experience. I know when I go to the hospital, I enjoy when doctors and nurses talk to me about my life and theirs. That bond that is created helps build a trust that this doctor cares and wants what's best for those that they treat; when things go wrong, it also opens up the ability to comfort one another. Building relationships between doctors and patients change the dynamics so that it ends up being doctor
Elite groups and associations have developed creeds or oaths throughout history. Doctors, lawyers, Army Rangers, Navy SEALs, and knights all aspire to hold to their directives. These oaths outline a set of values, and a code of conduct by which the group’s initiates are expected to hold. The oaths taken by these warrior classes are important for trust between members that, in grave circumstances, a behavior in accordance with high standards is to be expected. On a different professional level, a lawyer’s or doctor’s oath is to the people they serve. These oaths serve to instill confidence in the professional-to-patient relationship by establishing a standard of professional accountability within their respective fields. The Hippocratic Oath is purported to be a foundation for ethics and the practice of medicine. Though it exists in different versions, depending on the institution, the general themes and function remain the same (Markel). Any oath taken is meant to elevate the level of expectations for services rendered. In practice, however, especially in cases of medical oaths, it appears that the oaths are ceremonial and apparently obsolete. A survey conducted in 2012 noted that very few physicians had better than a rudimentary knowledge of the content of The Hippocratic Oath (Jhala and Jhala 279). If the Hippocratic Oath or any oath is intended to be the moral and ethical compass for physicians, it should be taken with an enforceable level of accountability and
What is narcissism? There is no specific definition for it. In psychology, narcissism is a negative and bad character trait. Narcissists have an excessive pride and they obsess with self. In other words, they think they are better than others and only care about themselves. In fact, being confident can also be accused as narcissism. However, narcissism is more than self confidence. Nowadays, Generation Y is being claimed as narcissists and there are so many reason that the critics try to list it out to prove their claim. In my opinion, Generation Y is just adapt to the environment they are living right now. Accusing Millennials as narcissist is not accurate.

Throughout the history of medicine there has always been a need for shared commitment to ideals of moral, ethical and humane practice. The Hippocratic Oath, created by a compilation of works largely based on Hippocrates, has always stood as guidelines for the conduct of physicians. The Classical oath has and continues to serve well in preserving the sanctity of the medical profession while developing a basis for the respectful treatment of patients. However, this out-dated oath is not equipped to handle the modern trials and tribulations faced by physicians and health care in general. Many of its principles are simply unrealistic and inapplicable in today’s society. For this reason a revised version of the oath was written. As I will
It is important for me to continue to have respect for myself, my coworkers, but most of all, respect for my patients in my chosen profession.

While volunteering for Union Hospital, I was not only assigned to assist in the emergency department, but I had the wonderful opportunity to aid the offices of some of the hospital affiliated physicians as well. At Union Physician Services in Newcomerstown, I had the great opportunity to work for the family practice of doctors Coulson, Burrier, and Miller, three great physicians that gave me the opportunity to observe them during their practice. While their day included a multitude of tasks, nothing made me more eager to come to their office than the prospect of getting to talk and interact with patients to discuss their healthcare needs. This is a portion of the profession where you can observe the trust that patients give their physician,

My mentality associated between the hospital and patients honorable. If I am selected, I dream to gain the ability to understand what the hospital genuinely means to patients.

Sooner or later, I actually examined the picture, and I learned the medical staff wasn’t there to afflict any pain on me. They were actually there to do what every health institute was suppose to do, build me up to my average self. Now, I have the enthusiasm to influence all patients to have trust and to

Various principles and values stated in numerous oaths and declarations form the basis for ethical practices in health care Rancich, Perez & Morales, Gelpi, 2005). The Hippocratic Oath is but one of these many oaths and declarations that have been recited by entering and newly graduated physicians over the centuries (Rancich, Perez & Morales, Gelpi, 2005). Despite differences, these works often emphasize several common values orientations or ethical principles, including beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, respect for patient autonomy, and confidentiality, not limited too (Rancich, Perez & Morales, Gelpi, 2005).
