The revised Hippocratic oath? fantastic if true !!!!

[Guest guest]

Dear

 

Namaskar. A wonderful analysis. I too was very sceptical about this

and

so expressed my reservations in the title of my mail itself. I went

to

the website of the author and was not impressed.

 

The new age movement is at a very nascent stage, with many people

chipping in just for the money. It will take a lot of time for the

dust

to settle down and thus separate the chaff from the real thing. The

movement is, till now, a crude attempt to unite the various forms of

healing from ayurveda and nature cure to spiritual healing. The

people

involved know something about ayurveda but not enough to know that

ayurveda contains everything. Or maybe they know but are trying to

pass

it off as their own invention.

 

I believe there is a discussion about a change in the Hippocratic

Oath,

but it's not yet final else we must have had it splashed all over the

press. There is also an attempt to reducate doctors periodically so

that they don't have to depend on the medical representatives for

continuing education. A separate chapter on the ethical issues in

medicine is also being debated for inclusion into the curriculum.

This is the scene in India.

 

But will these cosmetic changes suffice? The society, or any group

for

that matter depends on the activity of the individuals. So I guess it

all boils down to the responsibilities of the parents and the primary

school teachers to build better individuals.

 

Thanks Todd. If you give your permission I'll circulate your analysis

among my friends.

 

Regards,

Jagannath.
