J.M. DeBordGUEST
Asclepius was, he taught people medicine.
J.M. DeBordGUEST
The Hippocratic Oath, was, you know, Hippocrates said that he learned from, you know, like, Aesculapius goes very deep, and I'm just trying to give some quick background.
J.M. DeBordGUEST
They used to have these temples all over the Mediterranean where people would go because they were sick and they needed healing.
J.M. DeBordGUEST
And how would they get their healing? Well, on the one hand, you have good food, open air, less stress.
Adam TorresHOST
You're obviously, you mentioned training other doctors, you mentioned all this other stuff, like you didn't have to do that.
William RassmanGUEST
But it's by nature, you know, you take the Hippocratic Oath and the Hippocratic Oath says, teach your fellow doctor.
William RassmanGUEST
That's one of the things we swear to.
William RassmanGUEST
I take my oaths very seriously.
Grant GenereuxGUEST
They really just, you know, kind of pay lip service to the teaching of Hippocrates.
Grant GenereuxGUEST
And one of the other ones, you know, of course the famous one from Hippocrates is the Hippocratic Oath where, you know, first do no harm, but, you know, virtually all of the mainstream pharmaceutical medicines actually do harm in attempting to treat a chronic disease, but...
Elwin RobinsonHOST
True.
Elwin RobinsonHOST
And that is to say that they're all universally detrimental, right? Sometimes the harm is worth it.
Jordan GrumetGUEST
And in the business world, we totally understand a fiduciary responsibility, right? You owe it to your shareholders to become as efficient as possible and to make as much money as possible.
Jordan GrumetGUEST
The problem is when it comes to health care, the doctors and nurses are have the Hippocratic Oath or the Oath of Geneva.
Jordan GrumetGUEST
There's actually an ethical oath we have to take.
Jordan GrumetGUEST
And then we have something called the standard of care, which we have to meet.

Brian PageHOST
real quick question for private, for, for in those instances, can you still use HSA dollars to pay?
Jordan GrumetGUEST
A lot of them you can, and you can still use insurance dollars to pay for your hospital stuff and your labs and all that stuff.
Jordan GrumetGUEST
But you pay out of pocket or have some agreement payment style for the physician themselves that frees them up from the bureaucracy, frees them from the fiduciary responsibilities of these third parties, and lets them use their ethical responsibilities, the Hippocratic Oath, Oath of Geneva, the standard of care.
Jordan GrumetGUEST
They can basically use those patient-centered responsibilities to take care of you.
Dayna DuncanGUEST
Even outside of Australia, the standards of patient confidentiality are so high for doctors by necessity.
Dayna DuncanGUEST
And when I spoke with the ABC this morning, I talked about what used to be known as the Hippocratic Oath.
Dayna DuncanGUEST
And it's now known as the Physician's Pledge.
Dayna DuncanGUEST
And there's a line in that that says, I will keep the secrets of my patients even after they have died.
Courtney BlairHOST
How is this reconciled amongst physicians, this idea of hastening death?
Lydia DugdaleGUEST
People often bring up the Hippocratic Oath.
Lydia DugdaleGUEST
It says not to harm patients.
Lydia DugdaleGUEST
The Hippocratic tradition says first do no harm.
Lydia DugdaleGUEST
And the Hippocratic Oath in its original version had a prohibition on inducing abortion as well as hastening death through a poison, literally, was the language.
Lydia DugdaleGUEST
But it's worth noting that no physician today in a kind of conventional medical training environment takes the Hippocratic Oath in its original version.
Lydia DugdaleGUEST
There are modified versions which omit the very controversial elements of abortion and assisted suicide are made, but those versions are not the standard versions.
Lydia DugdaleGUEST
And so in many, many medical schools today, trainees will write their own oaths that sort of comport with whatever is kind of fashionable and considered the ethical norms of the time.
Kaveh HodaHOST
So I really enjoy that aspect of it.
Kaveh HodaHOST
And we learned for sure about some of the great physicians like Hippocrates of the famous oath of which you might be familiar with, the Hippocratic Oath.
Kaveh HodaHOST
But even having that background, I didn't know about this guy, this really important Persian polymath.
Kaveh HodaHOST
who treated everyone from soldiers to rulers to farmhands.

Shaheen DaivariHOST
I mean, we got around,
Kaveh HodaHOST
but I don't think we started them.
Kaveh HodaHOST
So anyways, so it could be argued that there are more famous physicians here and we take the Hippocratic Oath, but I don't know.
Kaveh HodaHOST
Galen and Hippocrates, they may be the fathers of medicine, but he's really the father of modern medicine.
Cristina Romero-BoschHOST
at the crux of our passion, right? Yeah.
John A. RobinsonHOST
So, yeah, I remember, what a memory when we stood there after graduation in July of 2006 and stood there and took our Hippocratic Oath, which is a little different from the allopathic Hippocratic Oath.
John A. RobinsonHOST
Is it? Very, very similar, but we had some nuances that were a little bit different.
John A. RobinsonHOST
But for the most part, it is the same, and it is that idea of first do no harm and to actually care for the patient and understand the sacredness, I think, of what it is that you're doing.
Christopher KaczorGUEST
So I think it's important for the quality and quantity of healthcare for all of us that we don't reduce healthcare professionals simply to those that can pass one ideological test.
Marcus PeterHOST
What has happened to the medical industry at large, especially as it pertains to natural law and preserving the Hippocratic Oath?
Christopher KaczorGUEST
Well, there are some medical schools that do uphold the Hippocratic Oath and others that don't.
Christopher KaczorGUEST
I do think that the Hippocratic Oath is important insofar as it urges healthcare professionals to first of all, do no harm.
Christopher KaczorGUEST
When we think about what a healthcare profession is, it's aimed at a particular good.
Christopher KaczorGUEST
Health is a good.
Shauhin DavariHOST
Yeah.
Kaveh HodaHOST
The Hippocratic Oath.
Kaveh HodaHOST
But even having that background, I didn't know about this guy, this really important Persian polymath who treated everyone from soldiers to rulers to farmhands.
Kaveh HodaHOST
I really ...
15 MINS LATER
Shauhin DavariHOST
Are you sure? I think that's what you just said.
Kaveh HodaHOST
I think, I mean, we got around, but I don't think we started them.
Kaveh HodaHOST
[laughs] So anyways, so it, it could be argued that there are more famous physicians here, and we take the Hippocratic Oath, but I don't know.
Kaveh HodaHOST
He, they, Galen and Hippocrates, they may be the fathers of medicine, but he's really the father of modern medicine.
