To all our dear MD’s in these U.S.A:
We think you are overpaid and your patients suffer because of it.
It is not your fault. Insurance companies, Big Pharma, have a lot to do with it.
There was a time, when doctors would do house calls. Prior to 1960’s we believe.
Not anymore. The Doctors in the USA became so addicted to MONEY, that they prefer pushing drugs, rather than curing a patient. What a shame…..
Furthermore,
The money you make off of your poor patients, shall go nowhere,
while you live your American dream.
Instead of being sincere and honest with your patients,
you became money making robots.
May GOD help you all and your industry.
Whatta GAS.
WE CANNOT contact our PRIMARY DR……WHYYYYYYYYYYY?
Why are they hiding? Why are they not available for a question, or advice??
Obviously because they care more about MONEY, than your health.
MONEY blinded M.D’s of these US of A, are nothing but a joke.
All they do, is collect mo money, mo money for every DR’s visit,
and push BigPharma drugs. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Where and when did the HIPOCRATES oath die??
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug.
I will not be ashamed to say “I know not”, nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient’s recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person’s family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.
Above all, I must not play as God.
The text of the Hippocratic Oath (c. 400 bc) provided below is a translation from Greek by Francis Adams (1849). It is considered a classical version and differs from contemporary versions, which are reviewed and revised frequently to fit with changes in modern medical practice.

history of medicine: Hippocrates
I swear by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius, and Health, and All-heal, and all the gods and goddesses, that, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this Oath and this stipulation—to reckon him who taught me this Art equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him, and relieve his necessities if required; to look upon his offspring in the same footing as my own brothers, and to teach them this Art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation; and that by precept, lecture, 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 disciples bound by a stipulation and oath according to the law of medicine, but to none others. I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous. I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion. With purity and with holiness I will pass my life and practice my Art. I will not cut persons laboring under the stone, but will leave this to be done by men who are practitioners of this work. Into whatever houses I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption; and, further from the seduction of females or males, of freemen and slaves. Whatever, in connection with my professional practice or not, in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret. While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art, respected by all men, in all times! But should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot!

Hippocratic Oath: Classical Version
I swear by Apollo Physician and Asclepius and Hygieia and Panaceia and all the gods and goddes-
ses, making them my witnesses, that I will fulfill according to my ability and judgment this oath
and this covenant:
To hold him who has taught me this art as equal to my parents and to live my life in partnership
with him, and if he is in need of money to give him a share of mine, and to regard his offspring as
equal to my brothers in male lineage and to teach them this art—if they desire to learn it—without
fee and covenant; to give a share of precepts and oral instruction and all the other learning to my
sons and to the sons of him who has instructed me and to pupils who have signed the covenant and
have taken an oath according to the medical law, but no one else.
I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I
will keep them from harm and injustice.
I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this
effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard
my life and my art.
I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but will withdraw in favor of such men as
are engaged in this work.
Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentio-
nal injustice, of all mischief and in particular of sexual relations with both female and male per-
sons, be they free or slaves.
What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to
the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself, holding such
things shameful to be spoken about.
If I fulfill this oath and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being ho-
nored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the
opposite of all this be my lot.

May GOD help the American doctors, for they are slaves to money.
May GOD help the patients of US doctors, because they are NOT treated,
but stuffed with deadly pills.
