I feel the Hippocratic Oath is being taken as a legal document to leverage against doctors in cases of suspected malpractice and it’s important to understand that it holds no such merit, but it is far from abandoned.

I swore the Hippocratic Oath ten years ago, in Finnish, but much to the above sentiment.I don’t agree that it has been abandoned.

It’s not a law or even a binding contract, but it is a guiding philosophy that I believe all reputable doctors maintain.
