==Criticism of the oath==
==Criticism of the oath==
The oath requires a doctor to swear on the names of [[Apollo (mythology)|Apollo]], [[Æsculapius]], and all the "gods" and "goddesses" of the [[Pagan]] Greek pantheon. Since this oath contradicts fundamental [[Christian]] principles by requiring a Christian to [swear by [[Pagan]] [[deities|gods]], devout Christian doctors may refuse to take this oath.
