Hippocratic Oath

How many Medical Doctors do you believe really live up to the Hippocratic Oath?

Oath Hippocratic

After reading through the modern version of the oath, I think that most doctors still follow through with. Whether they believe it or it just ends up that they follow it, I don't know. I know my wife has been with allot doctors due to her continuing medical problems and all but a few doctors have more than held to the standards in the oath. She has had a couple doctors, namely specialists, that really pushed it, but they still generally held to the principles they swore themselves too.

What I find funny is Hippocrates said, "Let food be your medicine". Doctors today push drugs, many of which are harmful to the body, then to handle the side effects of the first drug they offer more drugs. It's a vicious cycle.
