    The Hippocratic oath kinda cracks me up, cuz we break it almost immediately at the start of most procedures by shoving a needle or scalpel into the skin.

    I guess “do only necessary harm that will presumably heal in a way that results in a net positive” doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as well.

    Anyway, we fixed your appendicitis! damns you to a life of poverty with a bill that absolutely destroys your financial health

      The original hippocratic oath, by hippocrates, also forbids doing abortions on consenting women.

        Look on the bright side - we’ve made a good half-step of progress since then!

    Hippodromic oath should be first, wear your color. The hippodrome pretty much ran the politics of the empire.

    So pardon me while I burst, and rise above the flames. Pardon me. Pardon me. Will I ever be the same?
