   Doctor Strange (and by extension, doctors in general) must be a tough lot over in the Marvel U. If a crazy bearded guy jumped out at me and called me “venal one,” I don’t think my reaction would be as calm…
   Great site, and keep up the good work!

   Let’s just say, if Hippocrates were in the habit of appearing to put the beat down on physicians who violated his oath, the money grubbers like pre-accident Stephen Strange would probably not be first on his list. First he’d have to get to the ones that do drugs (including alcohol) while working on patients, those that are willing to help torture people, and the ones that molest patients. Strange, for all his faults, was at least supposed to be very competent… and I bet he never left any surgical instruments in his patients or operated on the wrong organ.

   But didn’t Hippocrates write the first rule of medicine “Don’t look like a crazy person”?

   You’re thinking of the pre-Crisis Hippocrates from Earth-H.
