    • 1. Thou shalt have no aim except to help patients, according to the goals they wish to achieve
    • 2. Thou shalt always seek knowledge of the benefits, harms, and costs of treatment, and share this knowledge at all times
    • 3. Thou shalt, if all else fails or if the evidence is lacking, happily consider watchful waiting as an appropriate course of action
    • 4. Thou shalt honour balanced sources of knowledge, but thou shalt keep thyself from all who may seek to deceive thee
    • 5. Thou shalt treat according to level of risk and not to level of risk factor
    • 6. Thou shalt not bow down to treatment targets designed by committees, for these are but graven images
    • 7. Honour thy older patients, for although they often have the highest risk, they may also have the highest risk of harm from treatment
    • 8. Thou shalt stop any treatment that is not of clear benefit and regularly reassess the need for all treatments and tests
    • 9. Thou shalt diligently try to find the best treatment for the individual, because different treatments work for different people
    • 10. Thou shalt seek to use as few drugs as possible
