"First, do no harm" wasn't included in the original oath. Whereas, "give no deadly medicine to any one if asked" is.
I think it's reasonable as a metaphor, but possibly not as an actual guide. Every profession could use an ethical code and statement made by each practitioner, not least of which is an explicit anti-fraud statement. Boy wouldn't that give a lot of people in marketing some difficulty?
