Who believes that doctors certainly bear the Hippocratic Oath?
No one who graduated in my medical school class took this oath contained by 1977, but it seems to be the general impression of copious people that doctors actually take this oath. I’d be surprised if any doctors on this site own taken the original oath. To do so you would have to swear by Apollo and other pagan gods. You would swear to never get something done surgery that would involve cutting with a knife. You would swear to never execute an abortion. That oath dates back to pre-Christian times. I’ll be fascinated if any modern doctors have in actuality taken that oath.
