Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Do no harm
How is that applicable to this particular discussion?
It's the first fucking line of their oath
Take the risk and provide the help or move to a state that allows you to help. Going along with the fascists isn't the answer.
No, it isn't. Physicians do not take the Hippocratic Oath. That is an anachronism.
It also wasn't the first line in any version I can find.
Okay cool they don't take an oath. Carry on 💪
Physicians literally murder (in the moral if not legal sense) patients because the state pays them to. The state doesn't even force them to, it just offers them a bit of money to execute prisoners, and they do it willingly. The entire medical system in the USA is deeply, deeply corrupt. It does not exist to help people, it exists to serve its own capitalist needs. Yes, they still take an oath today; a meaningless one that permits all that and more.
Um, what? Citation needed, badly. All I've ever heard about this issue is that things like lethal injections are routinely fucked up because nobody with medical training is willing to participate.
Your username is incredibly apt.
First of all, its not the first line. Second of all, that is in regards to avoiding harm through action, not taking action to prevent harm as you suggest it is.
