I believe we will draw the needed courage and resolve from the oath we recited in medical school and remember that, “If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.”6
I do believe we will.
