The Hippocratic Oath (Ορκος) is perhaps the most widely known of Greek medical texts. It requires a new physician to swear upon a number of healing gods that he will uphold a number of professional ethical standards. It also strongly binds the student to his teacher and the greater community of physicians with responsibilities similar to that of a family member. In fact, the creation of the Oath may have marked the early stages of medical training to those outside the first families of Hippocratic medicine, the Asclepiads of Kos, by requiring strict loyalty.
Over the centuries, it has been rewritten often in order to suit the values of different cultures influenced by Greek medicine. Contrary to popular belief, the Hippocratic Oath is not required by most modern medical schools, although some have adopted modern versions that suit many in the profession in the 21st century. It also does not explicitly contain the phrase, "First, do no harm," which is commonly attributed to it.

Hippocratic Oath
I swear by Apollo the physician, and Asclepius, and Hygieia and Panacea and all the gods and goddesses as my witnesses, that, according to my ability and judgement, I will keep this Oath and this contract:
To hold him who taught me this art equally dear to me as my parents, to be a partner in life with him, and to fulfill his needs when required; to look upon his offspring as equals to my own siblings, and to teach them this art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or contract; and that by the set rules, lectures, and every other mode of instruction, I will impart a knowledge of the art to my own sons, and those of my teachers, and to students bound by this contract and having sworn this Oath to the law of medicine, but to no others.
I will use those dietary regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgement, and I will do no harm or injustice to them.
I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.
In purity and according to divine law will I carry out my life and my art.
I will not use the knife, even upon those suffering from stones, but I will leave this to those who are trained in this craft.
Into whatever homes I go, I will enter them for the benefit of the sick, avoiding any voluntary act of impropriety or corruption, including the seduction of women or men, whether they are free men or slaves.
Whatever I see or hear in the lives of my patients, whether in connection with my professional practice or not, which ought not to be spoken of outside, I will keep secret, as considering all such things to be private.
So long as I maintain this Oath faithfully and without corruption, may it be granted to me to partake of life fully and the practice of my art, gaining the respect of all men for all time. However, should I transgress this Oath and violate it, may the opposite be my fate.

A Florida doctor said she'd stop treating most unvaccinated patients in person but denied violating the Hippocratic Oath.
I TOLD YOU ALL THIS SHIT WAS GONNA START TO HAPPEN.
A doctor in South Miami, Florida, says she plans to largely stop treating unvaccinated patients in person because it is "not fair" on others. Dr. Linda Marraccini (an otherwise nice Italian girl) said she decided to implement the policy, set to take effect Sept. 15, because she had patients who were immunocompromised or in chemotherapy and did not want to risk exposing them to the virus in her clinic.
"It's not fair for people who are unvaccinated to harm other people," said Marraccini, who told Newsweek she had seen patients in person throughout the coronavirus pandemic. The doctor insisted she was not violating the set of ethical standards known as the Hippocratic Oath.
Hey Doc - if you're so concerned about your other clients that are 'immunocompromised or in chemotherapy', schedule them on different days from the non-vaxxers you fucking hypocrite.

A rather long Haiku from my Fakebook wall.
If you have a lot of money and a big house and fancy cars and a lot of toys, good for you. Whether or not you worked for it, won it, stole it or inherited it, I don't care.
I don't want any of your stuff. And I'm not going to demand that you give some of it to someone else just because they don't have what you do. Keep it for yourself.
I am more than happy with that which I already have - and it ain't a lot. It's ENOUGH. Anything I want or truly need I'll work as hard as need be to get it or I will do without. It's that simple.
So stop telling me about income inequality.
Stop talking about the 1%.
Stop trying to divide us by wealth or race or sex or ethnicity or anything else.
Stop forcing taxes on to people who can pay and squandering it on people who don't, can't or won't pay - or work for that matter.
Stop telling me how to live my life.
Stop telling me where I can and cannot go and with whom.
Stop telling me I have to respect you.
Stop telling me I owe things to people I never have and never will meet.
Stop telling me I have to pay for the sins of someone else's great, great grandfather.
Stop telling me who to like and who to hate.
Stop preaching to me. If you have a religion, or a favorite pet, or a sacred burning bush of some kind, good for you. I don't want one and don't need to hear about yours. Don't like a country or a company or a political party? Good for you. Keep it to yourself. I don't care what you think.
JUST STOP IT. NOW.

This rooftop gig was the final public performance of the Beatles. On 30 January 1969, the band, with keyboardist Billy Preston, the Beatles surprised a central London office and fashion district crowd with an impromptu concert from the roof of the headquarters of the band's multimedia corporation Apple Corps at 3 Savile Row. In a 42-minute set, the Beatles played nine songs before the Metropolitan Police Service asked them to 'reduce the volume'.
Footage from the performance was later used in the documentary film 'Let It Be'.

DeleteHow does KY have a Democrat Governor? Matt Bevin managed to piss off civil servants, the teacher's union, and the University of KY faculty and administration. He narrowly lost in an off year election. Ill Douche, I mean Beshear, is sitting on a billion dollar surplus and the worst funded government pension system in the nation. What do you think will happen to the money? I say it will get spent and the pension bomb will get bigger.
