    “Do no harm” is not the same as “Do prevent harm.”

    Also, if you’re citing the Hippocratic Oath,…

      The Hippocratic Oath was created to forbid surgery, since it was a provable harm before modern hygienic standards. No one has sworn the original in centuries, but they do swear modernized versions which don’t include such ignorant nonsense.
