as small as a world and as large as alone

blendedchaitea asked: Hi Ms. Duane, I'm starting medical school in two weeks (*gulp*), and the Wizard's Oath really influenced how I think about medicine and what kind of doctor I want to be. So, thank you for that! :) My question is, did the Hippocratic Oath/Oath of Maimonides/etc. influence the Wizard's Oath? (And I have a small request: May I have your permission to say the Oath after my white coat ceremony?)

dduane:

(a) Your answer is here. (b) Absolutely: go for it! I honor where you’re headed. You will in your practice see the very best and the very worst of people: you will see many things that will freak you out. (And you will wind up discussing them at lunch to get your fellow practitioners to freak out too.) But it will all be worth it.

Be bold and resolute. Question everything. Check all medication orders three times. And moisturize frequently: hand sanitizer is very drying.
