Whatever happened to the Hippocratic Oath:
THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH
I swear by Apollo the physician, by Æsculapius, Hygeia, and Panacea, and I
take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my
ability and my judgement, the following Oath.
"To consider dear to me as my parents him who taught me this art; to live in
common with him and if necessary to share my goods with him; to look upon
his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art if they so desire
without fee or written promise; to impart to my sons and the sons of the
master who taught me and the disciples who have enrolled themselves and have
agreed to the rules of the profession, but to these alone the precepts and
the instruction. I will prescribe regimen for the good of my patients
according to my ability and my judgement and never do harm to anyone. To
please no one will I prescribe a deadly drug nor give advice which may cause
his death. Nor will I give a woman a pessary to procure abortion. But I will
preserve the purity of my life and my art. I will not cut for stone, even
for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this operation to
be performed by practitioners, specialists in this art. In every house where
I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far
from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the
pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves. All that
may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily
commerce with men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret
and will never reveal. If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life
and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve
from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot."
or is that just a fairy tale now.

You are probably right about the legal issue. When did the responsibility
change from helping a patient, to prescribing pharmaceuticals? Is this
relatively recent, or did I just spend the majority of my life ignorant of
the true purpose of MDs? It all seems to be escalating so
fast..............

Sol,
It's not personal. It's legal.
In court the first responsibility of an MD is to prescribe pharmaceuticals
rather than suggest clean water or food to patients.
