Many officers, and more people in the upper ranks of the military than most like to think about for that matter, treat it like the Hippocratic Oath. An outdated thing that they only swear if they need to but they have no intention to actually follow it.
You need to have morals to actually be willing to follow an oath, and when you reach a certain level of power or are doing anything to achieve that power, those people lack any and all morals. "Anyone that craves power does not deserve it."
Because there are quite a few doctors that don't take it seriously. Those performing abortions and "gender reassignment" surgeries are just blatant examples, but there are plenty that sell out to prescribe certain meds because they'll get kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies depending on how many scripts they write.
You can't honestly say you haven't seen plenty of doctors around you doing harm but they do it regardless. Just because YOU may "do no harm" doesn't mean that others take that oath seriously.

Agreed. For most, it's simply a formality that you do as part of the tradition or process.
As a doctor, why did you pick hippocratic oath? I take my oath very seriously.

Meh. I work in the ER and none or my colleagues are doing any of that shit. I understand your point, however.
You are saying all doctors are good doctors?
