He broke this due to his over reliance on dangerous medication to keep Michael Jackson satisfied. If he was unable to assist Michael Jackson without medication then he should have referred him to a specialist to help him manage his anxiety and pain in different methods. The last oath he violated was that he is above all else prevent disease and infection as this is more important that curing affliction. However, by giving copious amounts of medication he was enabling him to further his addiction and damaging his body to the point his heart literally could take no

Number Six: Organic Attack. If any of you remember The Dick Cavett show from the 70s, you might remember this odd event. J. I. Rodale fell dead on the set at 72 years of age, just as Cavett was interviewing another guest. Rodale was starring as a guest to explain his healthy lifestyle of organic foods.

The world can only hope that society will advance and will grasp that racism is a fancy word for ignorance.

In all of history, "there are only three circumstances that have been an acceptable way for taking a life: killing in self-defense or in protection of another life, killing in war, and in the case of capital punishment, killing by agents of the state. This law doesn't allow anywhere in the United States the right for one person to kill another even if the latter requests it to be done" (Callahan. pg. 71). However, Dr. Jack Kevorkian has committed this last type of killing several times. In the Hippocrates Oath, a physician swears not to give poison to anyone, though asked to do so, nor to suggest such a plan (Biema).
