Oath of a Student Doctor
-Amy Holda Gueye
My wish
My deepest wish
To absorb, to observe, to learn
To mold into the shapes that the doctrine has set for me
And to achieve the perfection that my conscience demands of me
My wish
My deepest wish
To touch, to soothe, to heal
To connect with souls who have bestowed their trust upon me
And to rise to the expectation my patients will demand of me
My wish
My deepest wish
To listen, to smile, to love
To never forget the humanity that lives within us
And to remember the patience and tolerance that is demanded of me
My wishes
My deepest wishes
To understand and to see
My patients
Forever as people
Forever as human
And never to forget the soul within
The life that also needs healing
These are my wishes, our wishes
The wishes of a student doctor
