Reading the Hippocratic Oath right now, it's painfully hilarious how far removed that pledge is from the way medicine is practiced right now (taken from wikipedia) "Whatsoever house I may enter, my visit shall be for the convenience and advantage of the patient;" "I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug." "I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick." How quaint! That's what a Norman Rockwell painting would sound like if it came to life.
