        It’s the first fucking line of their oath

        Take the risk and provide the help or move to a state that allows you to help. Going along with the fascists isn’t the answer.

          No, it isn’t. Physicians do not take the Hippocratic Oath. That is an anachronism.

                Physicians literally murder (in the moral if not legal sense) patients because the state pays them to. The state doesn’t even force them to, it just offers them a bit of money to execute prisoners, and they do it willingly. The entire medical system in the USA is deeply, deeply corrupt. It does not exist to help people, it exists to serve its own capitalist needs. Yes, they still take an oath today; a meaningless one that permits all that and more.

                  Um, what? Citation needed, badly. All I’ve ever heard about this issue is that things like lethal injections are routinely fucked up because nobody with medical training is willing to participate.

          First of all, its not the first line. Second of all, that is in regards to avoiding harm through action, not taking action to prevent harm as you suggest it is.
