Here's the current oath they say at my medical school. I think it's about the
same as the one I took (and I don't see the "first do no harm" clause in it):

Oath of Hippocrates
In accordance with the Oath of Hippocrates, I solemnly pledge by all that I hold sacred that according to my ability and judgement, I will keep this Oath and stipulation. I will follow that method of treatment which according to my ability and judgement, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous. I will give no deadly medicine to anyone if asked – nor suggest such counsel. I will not perform any illegal operation. Into whatever house I may enter, I will go for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption.

Whatever in connection with my professional practice, or not in connection with it, I may see or hear in the lives of humankind which ought not to be spoken abroad, I will not divulge – reckoning that all such matters should be kept secret.

I will always honor my teachers, and will impart by precept, lecture,and every other mode of instruction a knowledge of the Art of Medicine to all those deemed worthy, and who are bound by stipulation and oath to the law of medicine. While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life, and the practice of the Art respected by all humankind at all times, but should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse by my lot.
