Should patients take action against cost-gouging and violations of Hippocrates?
For example, when ridiculously expensive treatments are clearly ineffective and only result in high costs. Three sessions with an orthopedist using vibration pressure from a cheap massager to treat bursitis yielded no results, and surgical removal was discussed. Each 5-minute treatment cost €240. He tried to talk me out of my suggestion to try cortisone, citing terrible side effects. Nevertheless, I insisted, and the inflammation was gone. The cortisone treatment was NOT mentioned in the bill.

Hippocrates was his name. Personally, I would definitely not place any value on a treatment after his four-juice teaching.
Since that time the doctors have been in the tradition of ἵπος = Rosspfleger?
There’s no more oath.
And shamelessness is once again evident: a cash register patient with acute pain, although his patient is devastated from ‘terminal difficulties’, she should seek another doctor or take Ibuprofen. A private patient gets an appointment right away.
There is the “Geneer Gelöbnis”, but this is not obligatory and is optionally voluntarily filed.
The “od of the Hippocrates” has, fortunately, no meaning (who regrets this, may understand it and read it completely)
