I understand the sentiment behind this, but FTR, the Hippocratic Oath is specifically towards patients: to treat them equally with the sole goal of improving their condition(s).
Hating on one particular doctor fulfilling their oath is misguided unless you want proving you’re worthy of treatment before any doctor will help you to become the norm.
The hippocratic oath is mostly about paying the living expenses of your teacher and their family and only teaching medicine to their sons, your own sons, and the slaves of both houses.
The prohibition on poisoning only applies when ordered to do so by someone else. But it does prohibit surgery and abortions.
It does require medical privacy, which is about the only good thing about it.
Additionally, the famous “First, do no harm” it’s most known for isn’t actually part of the oath.
