: : : 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.

That is a judgement call. I think it had to changed due to the changing world. Still, I wouldn't dream on saying whether it is bad or good. I know that sounds like a cop out. Just, I don't believe I am qualified enough to form such an opinion.
