No, the Hippocratic Oath is not legally binding. It's a historical and ethical guide for physicians, not a legal document with direct penalties for violation. While modern laws incorporate some of its principles, like HIPAA requiring confidentiality, there are no direct legal repercussions for simply breaking the oath itself.
Whenever someone makes one of 'these style' videos on Twitter, (you know the style... they all have this certain 'flavor' to them), and don't include a link to the source, I already know it's because they're stretching the truth in some way to make it more sensational. I'm glad to see abusive and neglectful nursing home workers arrested for the death of a patient. Just say that in the tweet, otherwise we all look ridiculous
So many people monetizing slide content, trying to make certain issues a limited hangout that prevents people from looking deeper, just a like and a forget. Thank you for grabbing sauce, always appreciate you
Civil is slower than criminal at resolving a wrong. . .woman's great grandchildren might benefit. Since criminal is now in action these deadbeats more likely than not will be broke from legal fees and unemployable by the time Civil turns actionable.
Our legal system has too much gray area in it for justice to be adequately rendered it seems.
THE AMA is a danger to everyone due to the fact that they get "bookoo" dollars for pushing NEW DRUGS on unsuspecting patients.
I changed doctors to an osteopathic doctor!!!!!
He has helped me with my rhinitis by switching meds and helped in other areas also like arthritis in several joints...(jumping off thangs in Vietnam-kinda banged up the bones just a "tudge"-IYKWIM) 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Hippocratic Oath should be a law. I've been yelling that for years now. After having my eyes opened about "healthcare" back in the 80's, I rarely see a doctor. I just lost all trust in them way back then.
This has nothing to do w the Hippocratic oath. Administrators don’t take a Hippocratic oath…that’s only for physicians. This is a case of abuse and neglect of a vulnerable adult. Unfortunately it’s not super uncommon in skilled nursing facilities.
It's real, and it was reported all over the place when it happened last year. They arrested 18, then 5 more. Then let all those 18 go and charged the second set of 5, everyone got slaps on the wrist and the facility operates the same today as it did then and with the same staff - no one lost their jobs.
Hippocratic Oath is only administered to physicians, not skilled care workers. In this case, they found the facility wholly negligent for this resident's death. None of the people taken into custody were physicians. They were made up of mostly PCT's (patient care techs). Yes, a nurse and the facility administrator were also arrested as well. I am glad to see this happening.
Over the course of a long career as a Speech Language Pathologist I have worked in multiple facilities begining with a State Psychiatric Facility all the way through multiple nursing homes and rehab centers for the disabled.
Probably the worst place I worked was the state psychiatric hospital. Staff were surprised I actually worked with my clients, Apparently many other rehab staff didn't come or had excuses not to come or disappeared during the day. If a patient refused to see me three times after attempting to come to see them I let the nursing staff know these were adults who had opted for that choice. I tried to work with any referred patient. I walked on a ward in the middle of the day once where a woman was stark naked tied to a bed with both legs and arms, She was crying. I went to the nursing station to ask what happened and they said she went off in the shower. I asked if they could at least cover her with a sheet. They refused so I went and found one in a closet, The patient thanked me for my kindness,. I was appalled that any one would be treated that way and reported it to my superviser but nothing was done as she was in charge of Patient education and not a nurse there,
There are a large variety of caring individuals in many instances of some of the places I worked, But even I could see a difference on how well the head nurses handled their patients. It varied from wing to wing, I even visited one very small nursing home out in a rural area off a major highway with a very small patio off the back for the patients to go outside. They didn't have much there but the staff were wonderful with their patients. Sang to them at lunch time and treated each and every one of them as their own flesh and blood. It was wonderful to see, but not expected in a less than state of the art facility.
In another facility a semi comatose woman who lived there (in her 30's) had been discoverd to be pregnant. Apparently raped by a male attendent who was caught and ended up getting charged and served some time in jail,
The problem is there are people out there who will mistreat those who are disabled or infirm terribly I am sorry to say. It happens when you have people out there who are vulnerable. Hopefully, there are less of them than the good staff.
Somebody who has influence clearly had their beloved get fucked up by these people. My mind goes right to an agreement between said important person and this elder to make certain they had a paper trail of everything, knowing how the system works there and how they kill people.

Oldpatriot strikes again with no sauce, mods know who he is! And defend his actions!! But I'm the shill??
It's from December 2024 and the arrests were made due to abuse and neglect at a nursing home: https://www.marksandharrison.com/blog/police-arrest-colonial-heights-rehabilitation-and-nursing-center-employees-on-nursing-home-abuse-and-neglect-charges/

I agree but violation of one's oath should result in dismedicalment or some such action from the agency which licenses health care providers.
" violation of one's oath "
...there is always civil litigation...

...there's gold in them there "gray areas"...
...more gray...
...more pay...
...the legal "system" is akin to a laundry service...
...it costs more to iron out the "wrinkles"...
...doggy winks...
Litigation does not always bring justice to an individual harmed or safety to the public.
The Hippocratic Oath also calls for never performing an abortion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocratic_Oath
I totally agree. The AMA is a Danger to the public by being Pharma puppets.
Follow the $$!

Oh that’s right and let me tell you it is getting worse, they are demons dressing in white with a knowledge of a pea in their brain.

It's possible that it's not being reported anywhere because it is not true.
Very possible! Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
It's real, and it was reported all over the place when it happened last year. They arrested 18, then 5 more. Then let all those 18 go and charged the second set of 5, everyone got slaps on the wrist and the facility operates the same today as it did then and with the same staff - no one lost their jobs.

Oh that WOULD be depressing if it was true. It isn't.

Yes. COVID.
Nah, they were using a banned device to lift people out of wheelchairs and it killed one of them.
A family member was notified that someone was snooping through their records. Possible they are cracking down on it
