"Hippocritic" Oath

They take the oath to protect life. How then does a patient die in a hospital ER (Martin Luther King Junior-Harbor Hospital)? Medicine is not what it should be. Unfortunately the medical profession has gone to the dogs. I'm sure there are many who are committed to their cause, but there are so many more that are in it for totally the wrong reasons. Maybe Michael Moore has a point with the movie "sicko". If money were not the driving factor in patient care - both in terms of the medical staff and the insurance company, care would truly be for and only in the best interests of the patient.
