Total nonsense. They still call it "Hippocratic" as if Hippocrates had anything to do with this mealy-mouthed list intended, not to establish an ethical framework, but to avoid malpractice litigation and to justify homicide-by-doctor ("euthanasia"). What the fuck is "therapeutic nihilism" supposed to mean?
Anyway, whoever "revised" the oath probably did so to eliminate this problematic clause from the original: "I will use those dietary regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgment, and I will do no harm or injustice to them. Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. Similarly I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion. But I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art."
You can't euthanize a person or perform an abortion and abide by this. That's why a cabal of leftists were likely behind the "revision."
Here is the "revised" bit that rationalizes homicide by MD ("euthanasia") and eugenics: "Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty."
Try to find the words "Do no harm"
What the fuck is that nonsense

Fucking hell.
Pure, distilled faggotry. The result of 20 years of vilifying bullying.
Honestly surprised there's nothing in there about the sins of the white devil or how black trans lives matter. Must be an alt right college.
Interesting, good to know.
