23. Code of Honor
by Van Merkle DC
IT IS WITH GREAT HONOR, AN AWESOME
responsibility…humbling when a patient comes to me. I am
truly honored that they have come. I must do my best to
deserve this honor each time I see them and in everything I
do for them, for they have entrusted me with their most
valuable possession – their health or their child’s health. I
will not, I must not be distracted in my consultations, reports
or duty to them. I will not order one test or recommend one
vitamin more than is necessary. But neither shall I shirk
from my duty to tell the truth and recommend what I know,
to the best of my ability, and what is required to help them
achieve their goals in health. For without health, how can
one fulfill their optimum potential or purpose in life?
