Assignment Task: Medical services since ancient Greek times have sworn to uphold the Hippocratic Oath. Medical students since ancient Greek times have sworn to uphold the Hippocratic Oath. Yet nowhere in the Hippocratic Oath is money, financing, or making a profit mentioned. This statement seems to take the view that physicians (and hospitals and insurance companies) have forgotten what it means to be primarily concerned with the patient's best interest. Is this realistic in today's modern world of healthcare? As a Christian healthcare manager/leader, how would you respond to this statement?
