And the oath says, in part, to not “act as God.” in other words, I believe, to not act as a tyrant.

The problem is that the media seeks out anti-Trump doctors.
There is a range of views on issues among professionals.

AP doesn’t want to provide that range.

God isn’t a tyrant - He is very kind, caring, patient, and loves to bless people! I think the part of the modern Hippocratic Oath you refer to is the sentence, “Above all, I must not play at God,” in reference to a physician having the power to take a life and the responsibility of the physician to face it with great humbleness and awareness of his or her own frailty. Honestly, the “at” in this sentence in the Oath throws me (it’s probably inserted for secular purposes) and I prefer this sentence as, “Above all, I must not play God.”
