The Solemn Vow is a melee weapon for the Medic. It is a marble bust of Hippocrates, inset with a plaque reading "Do no harm" – the guiding principle of the Hippocratic Oath.
Having this weapon in the loadout allows the player to view enemy health, names and Übercharge percentages (in the same manner as the Spy), providing strategic information that could aid the team, although it cannot see through an enemy Spy's Disguise.
The item was previously tested in the Team Fortress 2 Beta as the Beta Bonesaw.
