MALICE, like, "i swear to save and preserve all life" but if you don't have health-insurance please die in the back-alley. WTF Just asking to be corrected.

Jacqkats, I think that you should be aware that many of us have learning difficulties that affect our grammar but not our intelligence. It's not nice having it pointed out. I like being happy for peeps with good news 😊

I don't know, I think I like the idea of politicians promising to do no harm.

Do no harm. I think that is good for all choices listed.

Groups of newly qualified doctors come to Kos, where I live, for the Hippocratic oath swearing ceremony. Hippocrates was born in Kos and taught medicine at the Asklepion which is now a protected archaeological site.

zI THINK THE COMMENT BY THE LAST PERSON IS RIGHT. I WISH HOSPITALS WOULDNT CHARGE SO MUCH. I WAS IN ONE FOR A DAY AND A HALF AND WAS CHARGED AN EXHORBITANT AMOUNT.

I hope most medical interns take will the oath seriously. Both for medical and dental especially for those who are poor. But also not to kill the unborn child

MALICE, I am reminded of my sister and brother in law. She was an O.R. nurse and he a thoracic surgeon. He had his own practice and if someone could not afford to pay he would allow them to pay what the patient could afford even if it was 5.00 a week. They have both passed now. I miss them dearly.

fallacy, I'm afraid. Not required to take oath and the % no drops every year that do. "first do no harm" is taken by less than 50% of Dr's. (Chemo etc). ck for yourselves

From my experience of doctors,I would be interested to know for what proportion it has any real meaning-or,in other words,how many possess a moral conscience.

I think that it should be reinstated. Doctors today have no compassion or understanding.

I only just heard what the oath was called that doctors have to take only just a few days ago. Otherwise It would have been a guess.

Point of information: the Hippocratic oath is a tradition, not a requirement.
