In this project, you will put your word breakdown and interpretation skills against the human body and its various maladies. You will be asked to consider the meanings of the names of body parts, diseases, and drugs, and how each of these names relate to their function and purpose. When thinking about the meanings of words, it's also important to communicate these interpretations for audiences outside the field.

They've discovered four new diseases with long, complicated names that no one outside the AMA understands (except you, of course). The AMA needs your help to inform the public about these new diseases!

The oath does not have to be exhaustive, but you should include at least 5 tenets. You can use any of the following historical and modern oaths as inspiration.
