Remember that "do no harm" part of the physician's oath? Well, doctors may pledge to it but I'm sure that medical corporations DON'T bother. All they care about is money. I've been told by The Neurology Center that I can't see my neurologist anymore because I have the wrong kind of insurance policy. I've been seeing this doctor for 25 years, he renews the proscription for the anticonvulsant I take to treat my epilepsy. Without it I am doomed. But the Neurology Center doesn't care.
@jjGravitas actually, the original Hippocratic oath includes the line “ I will offer those who suffer all my attention, my science and my love.”
- the modern oath has been drastically changed
