The Hippocratic Oath.
Do most Doctors in this generation abide by it?

Personally, I don't believe that most do. I've heard of doctors engaging in very shameful behavior.

Since 1948 most doctors stopped taking the Hippocratic oath, What is now said is the physicians oath. Most people who shout Hippocratic oath have absolutely no knowledge of what is actually in the oath and expect Nigerian Doctors to behave like the missionary doctors that introduced orrery medicine to Africa. We forget that those people came here to spread the gospel as their primary motive using medicine as the bait. They didn't care about being paid because their missions took care of all their need.
Let's now look at the average Nigerian doctor who is first and foremost a Nigerian and so has typical Nigerian outlook to life. The average Nigerian doesn't care Or love his neighbour, doesn't value human life, loves money and respects wealth, will cheat you while swearing on the bible or Koran. Why do we now expect the Nigerian doctor who came from this background to behave like a saint. Next time read a thread concerning cheating in exams on nairaland and see how many Nigerians applaud the practice. Then imagine that some of those people are medical students who will treat you when you go to hospital.
There are good Nigerians and there ate bad Nigerians and just like it is in the larger society, it cannot be different in medicine.
