“

Art lovers will cherish the bust of Hippocrates, commemorating a time when the Medic still thought doing no harm was a good idea. — Solemn Vow publicity blurb

”

The Solemn Vow is a melee weapon for the Medic. It is a marble bust of Template:W, inset with a plaque reading "Do no harm" – the guiding principle of the Template:W.

Having this weapon in the loadout allows the player to view enemy health and names (in the same manner as the Spy), providing strategic information that could aid the team.

The item was previously tested in the Team Fortress 2 Beta as the Beta Bonesaw.
