Congratulations

To earn the title “Doctor,”
is an honor, it is true. Fruition of
a lifelong dream, achieved by a few.

It’s a journey that has brought you,
to this time and to this place, 
where you can make a difference 
with each challenge that you face.

But, still, the wisdom you acquired,
each step along the way,
is not all that defines you,
as you travel through each day.

For knowledge in and of itself, is only
just a part. The thing that makes you
special,  is your kind and gentle heart.

And when a Doctor cares as much,
as you “sincerely” do, the world becomes
a better place,  no doubt, because of you!

Let Your Dreams Take Flight!

In Honor Of

Med School Graduate

Graduated with Honors from
UT Houston Medical Center
with the degree of

Doctor of Medicine

You worked long, hard hours for this goal.
This achievement shows your capability,
dedication, and strength as an individual.
As you geared up to your upcoming
residency program, we wish you much
success in each new challenge you face.

Congrats! Good luck on your future endeavors :-)

Hippocratic Oath

I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability
and judgment, this covenant:

I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk,
and gladly share such knowledge
as is mine with those who are to follow.

I will apply, for the benefit of the sick,
all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin
traps of over-treatment and therapeutic nihilism.

I will remember that there is art to medicine
as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy,
and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's
knife or the chemist's drug.

I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I
fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of
another are needed for a patient's recovery.

I will respect the privacy of my patients, 
for their problems are not disclosed to me
that the world may know.

Most especially must I tread with care in matters of 
life and death. If it is given me to save a life,
all thanks.

A PARAMEDIC’s PRAYER

LORD, you know
what lies ahead of me this day.

The calls I will be asked to respond to,
and those who find themselves in situations they never imagined and see no way out.

For them I humbly ask that you would
speed me on with attending angels at my side guiding every decision and procedures.

To all who plead and those who cannot,
I pray to be a good Samaritan
as they look to me for help and rescue.

Help me to save as many as I can,
and should mine be the last face they see,
I pray they will have looked into eyes
that reflected your love for them.

AMEN
