Very interesting video ! In Algeria , probably due to the massive role that religion and spirituality play in structre of society and individuals , almost all med students , strongly value the oath . We do spend an entire 3 months module if not more in some universities learning medical ethics , but the oath does have its sacred nature ( it's obviously much changed from the original Hippocratic text ) . As for society itself , unfortunately doctor's ethics are often misunderstood and a lot of cases of injustice towards medical workers are occuring daily . It's sadly very difficult to explain to the people the nuances of medecine and its unpredictable results . I think it's really useful that you open these dicussions on your channel for both the medical practice circle and the non-medical people .
@@OllieBurtonMed This may be wrong but I believe we take the same oath as other medical students in other arab countries , but anyway in ours this is the text -almost- : I swear by Almighty God to remember God's watch in my profession and to preserve human life in all its ages in all circumstances and conditions, expending my endeavor to save it from destruction, disease, pain and anxiety, and to preserve people's dignity, protect their intimacy, and conceal their secrets, and that I will always be one of the the means of God’s mercy , devoting all my medical care to the near and far , the good and the bad, the friend and the enemy, and to continue seeking knowledge that is harnessed for the benefit of man, not for his harm, and to honor those who taught me, and teach those younger than I , and to be a brother to every colleague in the medical profession, cooperating in righteousness and piety, and that my life be the credible proof of my faith in secrecy and in public, pure of what stains it in front of God, His Messenger, and the believers - we conclude by saying : and God is a Witness to what I say - as you can see it's very religiously driven and focuses on the importance of always doing the good/ avoiding the harm and seeking knowledge endlessly - two major themese of Islam and reflecting the values of the society itself through the personalization of the oath .
@Asma Zina Belheddad I never said it had any judiciary value , I said that med students value it a lot more than their counterparts in other countries possibly giving it a sacred nature , I hope I did not misinform but if I did I apologize .
wow theres 8 minutes i will never get back,,,,,this doc never met a word he didnt want to say....why only use 10 words when you can say 3000 in a 8 minute video? Next time just say doctors do not take a meaningful oath. boom done but thats probelatic because then youd get cheated out of 8 minutes of practice speaking and hand gesturing
as you know perfectly well, the poison is in the dosage, posology, that is Greek for the 'science of dosage', try not to obfuscate the issue you are allegedly explaining. And as any child knows, oaths and promises must have consequences if broken, so who the oath is made to is key.
sir my elder brother earns more than 300000 usa dollars as a software engineer in google california which is 250000 british pound sterlings. can any doctor consultant in uk earn this type of money? plz reply. thanks a lot.
only the best like neurosurgeons but really no, doctors rarely make this money doctors in the UK at consultant level usually make around 100K or more unlike doctors in the USA who frequently get over 300k also tax here is higher.

How interesting! Is there any particular oath that's usually taken in Algeria?

Imo an oath is just an oath. Our society operates mainly of legistlations and laws and degrees. That's it. My father is a GP btw....
Legislation, acts!/statutes, are not law there are personell opinions, opinions are hearsay!

It would be very rare I think
Pretty much never
No chance

more hypocrite oath
Please keep your hands and arms still, it's very off-putting and distracting whilst trying to concentrate on what the speaker is talking about.
