    “do no harm, unless it violated your specific religious ideology” that’s how the oath goes right?

      “Do no harm” is not the same as “Do prevent harm.”

      Also, if you’re citing the Hippocratic Oath,…

      I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion.

        The Hippocratic Oath was created to forbid surgery, since it was a provable harm before modern hygienic standards. No one has sworn the original in centuries, but they do swear modernized versions which don’t include such ignorant nonsense.

                You’re trying to sell us shoes aren’t you Herm. We know you’re the protector of thieves and merchants as well as the god of primitive medicine. Anyway yes I’m interested, how much?
