What does the oath of Hippocrates entail? And how does it relate to not vaccinate one's self (being a health worker)

Just as a point of interest, most modern physicians nowadays don’t say the Hippocratic Oath. There are different, more modern oaths.

I know of only one health care worker who has a legitimate reason not to get a vaccine. I’m not going to get into why, but it is totally legitmate—in fact the CDC told him not to get it because of this problem. The rest should have their ass fired.

@Caravanfan, but do they still practice Primum non nocere?

The Hippocratic Oath changed over the years, obviously. The original and the modern versions are similar. But as @Caravanfan the “oaths” that students take either upon entering med school or upon graduation are different. In fact some schools let the students make up their own oaths so they can say whatever the student wants it to say.

@Caravanfan what oath did you take?

@Jeruba Sure, although in the ICU we often have to break that rule.

@Caravanfan That one did gain quite a bit of prominence over the years. How do you feel about the “made up” oaths that are becoming more and more preferable? Do you believe they still meet the goal of the physician?

@seawulf575 Sure. The oath is pretty general and just a roadmap.
