I swear by Satan and all hordes of Hell To keep this medic’s oath and covenant And keep patients sick, unhappy, unwell So they are totally, utterly dependant On myself and others of my persuasion. Abstaining not from mischief and evil I’ll prescribe poison as cure on occasion But not so often that good quacks will Find my aims are other than they are taught. My He(art) is a dark and necromonous Source for divulgence of tales that ought To stay confidential in ominous Practice spreading plague and dark pestilence Starting when Armageddon doth commence. Arthur 666 Chappell

I hope that you will do a lot of medical errors and that you will cure more people than expected

. I wonder what has decided you to write this evil poem, Arthur 666 ?

@pgntwo I just played on the idea of there being immoral evil oaths as well as pledges to the truth and doing good

Reminds me of the originally true intent of the song "Thank You Very Much." (being sung in honor of Ebeneezer Scrooge, thanking him for cancelling all his clients debts ... by dying before he could collect

)
