As far as I'm aware, all or almost all medical doctors in the United States, at least, give this oath sometime before they enter medical practice (maybe while in medical school, I dunno).

Isn't Open Access great?

Title: Oaths and Swearing in Ancient Greece.
Format(s): PDF.
Author(s): Alan H. Sommerstein; Isabelle C. Torrance.
See of course Lars Porsena: Or the Future of Swearing and Improper Language by Robert Graves (yes, the poet)

No ebook though
