has the Hippocratic oath changed?

Yes, it's now the hypocrite oath.

In 1969, there was a speech given by Dr. Richard Day to a group of medical doctors. Day was the Medical Director of Planned Parenthood. This can easily be found online using the supplied key words of "1969, richard day, lawrence dunegan" without the quotes.

One of the attendees, had a photographic memory and wrote down what was related. His name was Dr. Lawrence Dunegan. I transcribed the videos a few years ago.

The highlights of the talk were as follows.

Change. Get people used to the idea of change. Population control. Promiscuity of all. Euthanasia. Incremental photo ID. Hospitals will be used for criminals. Dr's job IS changing. Will become ... TECHNICIANS. Death by lethal injection. Most doctors employed by corportations ... employee serves employer NOT patients. Solo doctors dried out.

Other things included were poisoning the food, giving drugs to advance the age of puberty, killing all religions except 1 (Luciferianism), school to become more competetive, huge increase in pharmaceutical drugs for "coping", increased gambling, increased drug & alcohol use, charges against drugs would increase and most importantly and revealing is that hospitals could serve as ... JAILS. New hospital designed so could be adaptable to jail use.

They've just abandoned it.

OP: I've written about this topic many times here on GLP but it's worth mentioning again.

Whereas the Hippocratic oath once meant "something" it hasn't for roughly 50 years. The trouble is, it has NEVER meant what most people believe.

For example, the "classic" oath has never begun with "First, do no harm." In fact, the first two entire paragraphs are devoted to two basic things: 1. that Doctors should always cover each other's asses to protect their "sacred" industry and, 2. they should share their knowledge with other doctors and GIVE IT FREELY to those suffering.

The ancients actually believed that anyone who possessed those skills were directly touched by the Gods and thus elevated above other mortals. While they were socially forbidden to charge for their services, they were expected to be paid in the form of donations, much like the sacrifices placed before the altars of Gods.

And, it gets better: did you know that while many medical schools don't use an oath at all, most others have simply written their own? Today there are special individualized oaths for Podiatrists, Dentists, Chiropractors, Osteopaths and even Veterinarians. Bear this in mind: not ALL Doctors swear to an oath of dedication and often when they do it's a strongly diluted version of the original which itself was flawed!

BUT: here's where it REALLY gets interesting...

We're all familiar with the caduceus -which is supposed to be the ancient symbol of the healing arts. It's that winged staff that has two snakes entwined up the shaft that you see on ambulances, in hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and in doctor's offices all across the nation. You even see it on the collars of Military medical personnel, that little Brass pin proudly proclaiming the wearer's dedication to helping humanity. The trouble is it has NEVER had anything to do with healing or medicine!

And only FOUR American doctors out of TEN even know this since it isn't taught in even ivy-league medical schools.

The caduceus is actually the staff of the Greek God HERMES [in Rome he was known as Mercury]; Hermes/Mercury is generally called the messenger of the Gods as he shuttled edicts from Mount Olympus down to us mere mortals here on Earth. But he was much more than that!

Hermes/Mercury was also the God of commerce, eloquence, invention, and travel; he was the protector of merchants and thieves and escorted the newly-dead into Hades, the underworld of the ancients.

Hermes' caduceus has its roots in the Greek "Karykeion", which meant "herald's staff" which further originated from the Greek "eruko", meaning restraint or control.

What the rest of the world knows [but the U.S. stubbornly ignores] is that the symbol of healing is actually the ROD OF ASCLEPIUS [aka Asklepian], who was the first world's first all-star physician. His staff looks very similar to that of Hermes but it has no wings at the top and only has ONE snake slithering up the shaft.

BTW: the snakes are present since they were considered sacred to the highly-superstitious Greeks and Romans ... long before that serpent was inserted into the Garden of Eden. One theory on how one ended up on Asclepius' staff is that in ancient times people were frequently inflicted with worms... big worms that could be seen moving under a person's skin. To treat them, the healer would cut a slit in the person's skin that would allow the worm to exit. As it did so it would be wound around a stick to ensure that all of it was removed. Eventually this was reinterpreted into two snakes slithering up the shaft.

Asclepius was so renowned for his compassionate, always free care that the Greeks elevated him to the status of a Man-God. He eventually founded and taught at the world's first medical schools which were called Asclepions. People believed so strongly in their powers of healing the infirm would actually sleep at their doors thinking that alone may cure them! FACT: Hippocrates himself studied at one of Asclepius' schools!

So, how did this great mixup of classic symbology occur? Sometime around 600AD Hermes became linked with alchemy and very soon after alchemists were called "Hermetists" or "Hermeticists", or practitioners of the Hermetic arts. But alchemy was within the realm of the OCCULT where soothsayers and sacrifices reigned supreme. In essence, that winged staff was originally nothing more than a magic wand!

And even the word "caduceus" confirms this deception since it comes from the Greek "caduity" or "caducous" which mean temporality, perishableness and senililty.


SO: the next time you visit your Doctor's office -and before you ask him which version of the oath he took [if any!]- look around his office and see if he has a caduceus on display.

And then quiz him on its genuine meaning!

Here's something else to ponder: not all Doctors graduate at the top of their class with many barely squeaking by their final exams or internship. For my money, one important detail should be added to that framed diploma hanging on their office wall: their GPA!

Especially if they have a caduceus anywhere in sight!

goodness!
i had not realized there were two caduceuses..(sp?), thank you for pointing that out.

...
Both symbols feature snakes winding up the length of a central staff, though one has two snakes, and usually a set of wings, while the other has only one snake. Could you tell them apart? Though often used interchangeably, these two symbols have very different meanings. The caduceus, the staff of the messenger god Hermes, has been wrongly used as a medical symbol for a little over one hundred years. It has often been mistaken for the Rod of Asclepius, a visually similar symbol belonging to the god of healing and medicine.

The fact that this mixup has lasted for so long is strange...

No the oath hasn’t changed. It’s still your money or your life.

Don't feel badly about never having heard of this historical discrepancy... or is it in reality a grand deception?

As I said above, it's estimated that only 1 in 4 doctors have ever heard this truth. That begs the question, "WHY?" You would think that medical schools would WANT their students to know this, right?

What I find most ironic is the connection of Hermes/Mercury -and his caduceus- with the classic underworld [Hell] for it was he who personally guided the dead into eternity. So apparently that's something Doctors are also supposed to do! This could explain why so many are very, very good at it as they slowly degrade your body with endless medicines [and vaccines] they HOPE will work as their magic wand looms nearby! Not much has really changed from 2,400 years ago when they used poultices, potions, incantations or the entrails of a Chicken to cure the sick. And when all else failed you could always pray to the Gods and hope Hermes would get lost on his way to your deathbed.

As a historian, in the 20 years I've been here at GLP I've written about this many, many times... but it never fails to amaze those who've never heard it before.

THANKS[!] for allowing me to share it once again in your thread.

One final thought: I'm now over 70 and have NEVER had a personal physician... or NEEDED one! I rarely ingest pharmaceuticals and even an aspirin is very uncommon.

And I mostly credit my nearly-perfect health with avoiding those man-Gods like the plagues they claim to cure. ESPECIALLY the current one!
