From the Hippocratic Oath:
"I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice. (How many docs do you know that prescribe dietary measures before prescribing poison?)
I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody if asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art.
Wow. Foreign concepts to most Western medicine doctors.
How ironic that Hippocratic resembles hypocritic.
Hippocrates must be rolling in his grave.
They're sca-a-a-a-a-r-ed! Fu** pu****s, who only want to keep their jobs safe. This is what medical insurance has done to the medical field. What ever happened to the door-to-door doctor?
Ron Paul himself and many others have asked the same question. In particular, Robert Mendelsohn has. https://thepeoplesdoctor.net/biography/
damn didn't even know the abortion part was in there explicitly. Memory hole wizards
Its all about greed.
The main problem is government licensing for jobs, there are all sorts of professions that require them, doctors being one of them. Once the people who issue these licenses become corrupted by greed and power, they are able to essentially black mail everyone with losing their livelihood, and unfortunately for most people their cushy job that feeds their family and gets them a new tesla is worth more than being an honest person and being true to any oath they may have taken
Welcome! Agreed with the government licenses. It would be better for physicians to hold each other accountable, and to be held accountable by their patients.
while were at it, ... just what does being " hooded " refer to when these 'docs' graduate .../?
That's cuz many are hypocritical oafs. Many people seem to be stuck with the delusion that these people are here to help those in need. I want to ask them the next time I hear this - how many do you know actually went to school because they wanted to help people, as opposed to making ca$hmoney or cuz of familial pressures?
None, all about the $$, married to one for 24 yrs
Sigh! But midwives do. I remember our midwife had a similar Code posted in her center.

Never trust a hippo taking an oath
Thank-you for all the great replies!
