Doctors used to take the Hippocratic Oath. They don't any more, and neither do your friends. That's one reason neither are trusted.

    You really think that the classic oath would improve things? Let's see. You can't give most drugs. (They are deadly. Hopefully not in the quantities prescribed but...) You cannot perform abortion. You can't perform surgery. You swear to support your teacher financially. Nepotism is built right into the oath.

    Do you think that most people in the modern world are clamouring for these changes?
