Hypothetical Oath Duty of Care

So I am told

Or lead to believe

As I am not an actual Doctor

Have studied Biology

Or any form of Medicine

But what I have heard of before

Is that Doctor's upon completion 

Of their studies once qualified

Swear a 

Hypothetical Oath

So simply in this regard

Can they in all good consciousness

Agree to perform

Sex reassignment surgery

Given that I assume or hope

Surely you wouldn't be able to pass

Any medical boards examination

If you cannot determine the difference

Between the sexes

Male or Female 

Surely that above all 

Human Anatomy 

Day 1

Probably wouldn't even be covered 

As it would and maybe be both overlooked 

Assumed and presumed

As and should merely be taken from granted

The Hippocratic Oath probably is a hypothetical oath Christopher, gender reassignment no problem if you have a big wallet, they’ll even help you with a new name; have you been watching documentaries, what brought this one on? Got to love that hypothetical oath, lol, Cheers David
