much has been said this week in the newspaper about the ethics of a doctor when helping a patient in a flight.
they also mentioned the Hippocratic Oath which is believed to be written by Hippocrates. it got me curious and i googled it.
again, wikipedia enlightens me. click here for the link.
there has been some changes to the oath due to modernisation but i guess the core values are still expected of a doctor.
no abortion, no mercy killing. but nowadays you see doctors performing both on their patients. so how 'doctor' is a doctor now?
the trigger for the discussion about the oath in letters to the editor in the star is from this news report published on 30 sept.
