: Do you think the physicians really think about these oaths as they take them, or do they just go through the motions because they are expected to?
I would have to say that there are a few who really think about them but many do it just because they are expected to. On the other hand, when you are just starting out many people are eager and really may believe what they are saying but I also think that these beliefs change over time.
