: : Question - The Hippocratic Oath has been used for centuries by physicians and some portions of it adopted by other health care professions. How has it changed over the years?
: Did everyone get a chance to read the Internet article on "Physician Codes and Oaths?" The first section on "The Use of the Hippocratic Oath" is a very interesting analysis of how the oath and the use of the oath has changed over the years.
In the reading referred to I think the biggest irritation I have is theat 43% are accountable for their actions. The physicians certainly don't hold us only 43% accountable for OUR actions. You hit a raw nerve there with me!
