“Time to reinstate the Hippocratic Oath....”

This died with the advent of the AMA and the FDA - both have become evil tools of the Drug Cartels. This is not to say that individuals, doctors, nurses etc in the medical community are evil or corrupt - many truly care about the patients they treat, and are in the business to help people be well. I do not believe that the Drug Cartel, the AMA or the FDA care about any of us or our health - they are after the money to be milked through the system into their gruby, greedy, dirty hands and pockets.

Neither the AMA or the FDA had much to say about the abandonment of the Hippocratic Oath. The demise occurred after 1973 and Roe vs. Wade; prior to this SCOTUS decision medical schools had the oath as part of the graduation ceremony.

After this, the medical schools changed the oath more and more until now, in many schools, it has scant resemblance to the original Hippocratic Oath.
