Abstract

Although nobody much reads the original Hippocratic Oath any more, it is essentially a commitment to keeping trade secrets. The modern version focuses on not taking advantage of patients sexually while providing medical care directed toward their health and well-being. Unfortunately, it does not address the current, rampant corruption of financial abuse which the insurance industry imposes on American physicians. How many time a day does a doctor provide services which are not necessary for the patient’s health?.
