Hippocratic Oath is eclipsed by Midas touch

Not all physicians adhere to Hippocratic Oath and some actually revel in Midas touch. Last week, a Lebanon-born Michigan physician, Farid Fata, was sentenced to 45 years in prison. Over 6-year span, he administered unnecessary 9,000 chemo to at least 553 patients and raked $35M. In the last 10 years, more students gravitate toward medical schools but how many still keep Hippocratic Oath years after they graduate?    http://www.newsweek.com/farid-fata-farid-fata-sentenced-farid-fata-medical-fraud-oncology-cancer-352317
