Our Hippocratic Oath
This week has been so sad with the horrors of the world news, particularly this week in the Middle East, but not forgetting Ukraine, Ethiopia, Syria, Yemen, and Burma. What has saddened me as deeply has been the unacceptable hate speech appearing in our own country. This has been evident in the passionate responses to the Middle East situation, but also evident in these last days before the referendum. – Dr Marjorie Cross, OAM
