The Hypocratic oath states that doctors should treat everyone, regardless of race, religion, sexuality, financial status, personal history, etc.
First of all, Western countries already don’t do that. They discriminate by race, religion and sexuality (Catholic hospitals), and especially financial status. So not doing this is already standard practice.
But I personally think a case can be made the communist doctors shouldn’t treat everyone either. If a Nazi comes in, no, he can go fuck himself and no doctor should be treating him. Or in a triage situation, the proletariat should absolutely get priority over the bourgeoisie.
That’s just my hot take and admittedly I do not really know the theory behind this stuff, and I definitely want to learn, hence this post. What do you think? Please correct me if I’m wrong on this.
IMO, ideologically dedicated fascists should only get treatment if they would be more useful to society alive than dead. The Hippocratic Oath is more than two millennia old and is based on idealism (and also apparently includes an anti-abortion “clause” in its original form)(@PolandIsAStateOfMind and @Munrock made very good points, so I’ve changed my mind here)thanks for the downvotes without explanations, very helpful
