The medical establishment has pretty much destroyed every aspect of the Hippocratic oath. Here are a few excerpts from the original Hippocratic oath that have been completely reversed during our lifetime.
“With regard to healing the sick, I will devise and order for them the best diet, according to my judgment and means; and I will take care that they suffer no hurt or damage.”
Today’s physicians have become pill pushers, prescribing medication to everything that moves, and being richly compensated by the Pharmaceutical companies accordingly, not considering the long-term effects on the patient.
“Nor shall any man’s entreaty prevail upon me to administer poison to anyone; neither will I counsel any man to do so. Moreover, I will get no sort of medicine to any pregnant woman, with a view to destroy the child.”
This clause of the oath completely forbids any manner of abortion or physician-assisted suicide. Yet so-called “physicians” are called upon to perform these heinous acts in our society today.
“Whatever, in the course of my practice, I may see or hear (even when not invited), whatever I may happen to obtain knowledge of, if it be not proper to repeat it, I will keep sacred and secret within my own breast.”
You cannot walk into a Doctor’s office today without first signing over your right of privacy. Today’s corrupt laws force Physicians to violate the Hippocratic oath by sharing private information with the state.
These are just a few reasons why I personally have zero faith in the medical establishment. I know there are many brilliant, compassionate and honorable people that are physicians. But the system to which they have all subjugated themselves is quite corrupt.
I never could reconcile this behavior in my mind. I guess a man’s word means nothing to him anymore. Let us all say what we mean, and mean what we say!
