And that's the truth of the matter.
When I walked into the auditorium on my first day of medschool and looked around, my only thought was...
...it's going to be a LONG 4 years.
It was. Very few men with honor. Very few. Hopefully, some of them grew up.
I read somewhere that medical schools no longer require recitation of the Hippocratic Oath, which includes the following vow:
...I will neither prescribe nor administer a lethal dose of medicine to any patient even if asked nor counsel any such thing nor perform the utmost respect for every human life from fertilization to natural death and reject abortion that deliberately takes a unique human life.
