IN MY OWN PROFESSION OF RADIOLOGY, UPON GRADUATION WE TAKE AN OATH TO UPHOLD THE RIGHTS OF OUR PATIENTS, TO PROVIDE THEM WITH THE BEST SERVICE THAT IS POSSIBLE.
EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT PHYSICIANS, WE SWEAR TO PROTECT THE PATEINT FROM MISINFORMATION, WRONG EXPLANATIONS OF THE PROCEDURES THAT THEY WILL BE HAVING.
I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT EVERY PROFESSION, INSTITUTED A SIMILAR OATH THAT EACH PERSON TAKE BEFORE HE/SHE ENTERS THE HEALTHCARE FIELD.
