Episode 102: Freedom to Practice Medicine – Drs. Jane Orient and Donald Miller Defend the Hippocratic Oath to ‘Do No Harm’
May 18th, 2015
Whether you’re “HIV positive” or “HIV negative,” the day will likely come when you seek a medical doctor’s opinion on a health condition. Just how independent from flawed official standards of care will that doctor’s judgment be? Are doctors allowed to think independently at all? Will they “first, do no harm,” as the Hippocratic Oath pledges? “How Positive Are You” co-host Elizabeth Ely asks Drs. Jane Orient and Donald Miller these vital questions and more. You’ll learn about the dire, Kafka-esque situation in American medicine that the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) and Doctors for Disaster Preparedness (DDP) would like to improve.
