Traditionally it was the Hippocratic Oath.
This doesn't happen in the uk anymore. Instead new doctors are given guidelines that they have to sign up to:

All Doctors take the Hippocratic Oath before they are full time practitioners. It comes from an ancient Greek call Hippocrat who was the father of medicine in his day, and no matter who the person was, whether friend or foe, Black or White, he would do all he could to help them with their wounds etc. Doctors take this oath to live up to that mans ideals.

George Mason University statistics department has published research that shows that FOX News is the most fair and balanced of all the news shows. Almost 50/50 in their breakdown. As for the rest of the trash (Lohan, OJ, they are news and on the other channels). Mercedes perhaps you didn't hear the story itself on the O'Reilly Factor. 50/50 is about as even as you can get. Is that a problem or do I have to explain statistics. You can apologize below. Max P that doesn't make any sense. Would you give me an example of "republican" news and an example of "democratic" news.

It is called the Hipocratic oath, it is far to long to remember and it really changes the values of some people.

Hippocratic oath
I swear by Apollo, Æsculapius, Hygieia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgement, the following Oath.
To consider dear to me as my parents him who taught me this art; to live in common with him and if necessary to share my goods with him; To look upon his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art if they so desire without fee or written promise; to impart to my sons and the sons of the master who taught me and the disciples who have enrolled themselves and have agreed to the rules of the profession, but to these alone the precepts and the instruction.
I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.
To please no one will I prescribe a deadly drug nor give advice which may cause his death.
Nor will I give a woman a pessary to procure abortion.
But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts.
I will not cut for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this operation to be performed by practitioners, specialists in this art.
In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves.
All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal.
If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot.
