http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocratic_Oath

It seems that compensation culture has left medical practitioners open to be sued if they try to treat but fail, therefore an oath which says a person who practices medicine has a moral obligation to help those in need regardless of politics, religion or creed has been lost.

In a world that has lost so much to cultural differences I think it is sad that you can no longer rely on a doctor to help you and that an oath that has been around since the time of ancient Greece has been removed for the worst of reasons.

I would like to see doctors and nurses free from the fear of prosecution for trying to help and the Hippocratic Oath reinstated.
What are your thoughts?
The wikedpedia is a link to explain what the Oath is.

My point is not that the Oath has gone, but that it is now a choice and very few doctors are taking it
