Hippocrites

Hippocrites is a word used to describe how doctors are becoming hypocrites against their will due to current laws criminalizing[1] and restricting their ability to provide abortions[2] — an essential reproductive health care procedure — thus forcing them to break their sacred Hippocratic oath[3]. The word first appeared in the short film "Hippocrites: A Broken Oath in Reproductive Health" which was released on June 24th, 2024 — the 2-year anniversary of the Dobbs ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade. Hippocrites is a junction between two words, Hippocratic (from the Hippocratic oath) and hypocrite.

Hippocrites (2024 Short Film)

Hippocrites (titled onscreen as Hippocrites: A Broken Oath In Reproductive Health) is a 2024 American docudrama short film directed by the duo of Argentine directors Julieta Casalia and Lucía Valdemoros, also known as Swan, and produced by Rebolución. The film is about the Hippocratic Oath, reproductive health care, and the hypocrisy that recent judicial rulings are forcing upon the medical profession. It portrays a scenario that’s becoming all too common in many states throughout America today, that of a young woman seeking reproductive healthcare and being denied by her doctor. Of course, no doctor who took an oath to put the health of their patients first wants to deny care[4], breaking the very oath they took as medical school graduates. The goal of the film is to shine a spotlight on this serious problem that requires a serious solution. No legal or political entity should be superseding the authority of doctors in the very private, personal healthcare decisions that they make every day with their patients.

Plot

The film begins with a white coat ceremony somewhere in 1990s Texas. We focus in on a young doctor reciting the Hippocratic oath. As the ceremony continues in the background, we skip forward in time to meet Rosie, a young woman with Hispanic roots who’s just learned she’s pregnant.

In a state of panic, she visits her OB-GYN, who appears paranoid as he hushes her and then ushers her into his office. We quickly realize this is our medical school graduate — Dr. Warner — many years later. Rosie needs his help, but he shakes his head no, signaling that his hands are tied. He has no choice but to refuse giving her an abortion.

While we continue to hear the Hippocratic oath being recited, we also continue to see Rosie’s unfortunate circumstances unfold. The emotional and financial tolls of her abortion journey culminate in Rosie returning home to find an eviction notice on her apartment door. Before our eyes, her life has utterly transformed for the worse.

The film ends how it began with us watching a young Dr. Warner graduate from medical school, innocently unaware of the future that will force him to break the oath he once took so proudly.

No More Hippocrites (2024 Ad Campaign)

No More Hippocrites was created by The No More Hippocrites Collective, a team of healthcare marketing creatives, in partnership with sexual and reproductive telehealth company Wisp[5]. It was launched on June 24th via digital, social, radio, print, and out-of-home paid media.

The goal of the campaign is to tell the story of a broken oath in reproductive health. It shines a spotlight on our post-Roe world – on how doctors are being forced to break the Hippocratic oath they solemnly swore to uphold and on how women's health and lives are increasingly at risk[6].

The campaign features the short film Hippocrites: A Broken Oath in Reproductive Health and an interactive website that allows users to dive deeper into the short film. The website offers additional education about reproductive healthcare, the current political landscape that’s criminalizing abortion, and ways to overcome it. Website visitors can click through the film scene by scene to get more information and resources.

The website also features a tool for physicians to renew the Hippocratic Oath as a pledge to help protect medical education and accessible reproductive care.
