"do no harm, unless it violated your specific religious ideology" that's how the oath goes right?

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

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

You're trying to sell us shoes aren't you Herm. We know you're the protector of thieves and merchants as well as the god of primitive medicine. Anyway yes I'm interested, how much?
