Do you think that insurances play a valuable rule that may limit the capabilities of physicians and surgeons today?

I believe that they do not hold the value that they did years ago. I feel that liability concerns and lack of self-regulation has damaged the profession.

The Hippocratic oath definetly does exist and still applies in a certain measure to how Doctor's do their jobs today.The problem is that the Hippocratic oath goes back to ancient Greece and as an ideal is fine, but has lost a lot of it's punch because it doesn't reflect some of the realities of modern medical practice.

It seems to me that doctors who take an oath to protect human life violate that oath by performing abortions. It is a human life that they end. I think this oath is also violated with assisted suicides. I'm sure there are many good doctors who run their practices according to the hippocratic oath, but as all moral lines are becoming more and more blurred, so are the lines around this oath.
